Is there anything in the Act that requires the cost of those tools and parts to be reasonable? Yes: "on fair and reasonable terms."
Is there anything that allows third parties to manufacture aftermarket tools and parts? I don't see anything in the Act that specifies that.
Fair and reasonable terms:
Apple when charging for the “reasonable” costs of mailing tools to people: “we should mail people a 79lb machined aluminum tools that require $50 in shipping and a $1200 deposit.”
