Understanding Option Quotes

Hi! I have a very basic option question. When a broker quotes some options, it has the following format: May 65/70 C/s, 1.3 offer bsxx 62.75 So I have the first bit, (may call spread 65 vs 70 strike, offer is at 1.3 - but I don't get the last bit (bsxx 62.75).

I guess bsxx stands for basis cross but I don't get why it is important for the pricing of that option structure?
