Outsourced products works as well. Since 外协 implies working with another party, I think either term would work.

explanation
In fact, we have discussed much about this term before. According to my experience:
1) Outsource vs. Subcontract: Both are employed for "外协" and even "purchase", to make difference from "self made/manufactured" (products, often components), however, based on the English usage that Chinese (language and people) can reach, Outsource is more employed
2) -ed vs. -ing: Both are also used for "外协产品", however it's not a question of frequency, but of the detailed context. If we generally talk about it, it's -ing that should be used, while if we talk about the products/components already purchased and/or used in the final products, or similar context, it's -ed that's naturally employed.
Hope my explanation is helpful and makes things clearer...
