Title: Veterans Affairs Acquisition 

Regulation (VAAR) Provision 852.214–

70, Caution to Bidders—Bid Envelopes. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0593. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: VAAR provision 852.214–

70, Caution to Bidders—Bid Envelopes, 

advises bidders that it is their 

responsibility to ensure that their bid 

price cannot be ascertained by anyone 

prior to bid opening. It also advises 

bidders to identify their bids by 

showing the invitation number and bid 

opening date on the outside of the bid 

envelope. The Government often 

furnishes a blank bid envelope or a label 

for use by bidders/offers to identify their 

bids. The bidder is advised to fill in the 

required information. This information 

requested from bidders is needed by the 

Government to identify bid envelopes 

from other mail or packages received 

without having to open the envelopes or 

packages and possibly exposing bid 

prices before bid opening. The 

information will be used to identify 

which parcels or envelopes are bids and 

which are other routine mail. The 

information is also needed to help 

ensure that bids are delivered to the 

proper bid opening room on time and 

prior to bid opening. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; Individuals and households; and 

Not-for-profit institutions. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 960 hours.
