Sec. 852.214-70  Caution to bidders--bid envelopes.

    As provided in 814.201, the following provision will be prominently 
placed on all IFB's:

              Caution to Bidders--Bid Envelopes (APR 1984)

    It is the responsibility of each bidder to take all necessary 
precautions, including the use of a proper mailing cover, to insure that 
the bid price cannot be ascertained by anyone prior to bid opening. If a 
bid envelope is furnished with this invitation, the bidder is requested 
to use this envelope in submitting the bid. The bidder may, however, 
when it suits a purpose, use any suitable envelope, identified by the 
invitation number and bid opening time and date. If a bid envelope is 
not furnished, the bidder will complete and affix the enclosed Optional 
Form 17, Sealed Bid Label, to the lower left-hand corner of the envelope 
used in submitting the bid.

                           (End of provision)
