2-31.4 Communications with Potential Suppliers

The Postal Service establishes what it may transmit and discuss with suppliers. Technical or other information, such as general information that will not harm the integrity of the purchasing process, may be furnished upon request. Information may not be furnished to any supplier if, alone or together with other information, it may afford that supplier an advantage over other suppliers. The CO must ensure that no leveling or technical transfusion occurs. For additional information on discussions, see Section 2-37, Hold Discussions.
