preparing macbook for trade-in, do I need to reinstall macos after erasing

I’m preparing my 2017 MacBook Pro for Apple authorized trade-in program credit. I’ve followed all directions and I’ve erased hard drive in Recovery Mode Disk Utility. At this point, do I need to Reinstall macOS as part of preparing the MacBook for trade-in?

MacBook, OS X 10.11
