Subject: '~ Quotation for the Development of a Transistorized Battery operated Radio
Set. ~
'erence; Your letter dated 28 February 1955
Fr^losures; (1) ~~ Quotation 591-7 (~ copies)
(2) Price Analysis (!~ copies)
(3) Technical Proposal No. 639 (fit copies)
~rFe ar?e submitting herewith our cost plus fixed fee proposal, consisting of enclosures
one (1) through three (3) above, on the development and furnishing of ten (10) transistorized
battery operated radio sets to cover the frequency range of 12 to 30 megacycles, and as-
sociated bill of materials, manufactured drawings, operating and maintenance manuals, and
progress reports.
Our proposal is presented in two (2) options. Option I contemplates delivery of the
equipment in accordance with specifications RR-11BB development specification, and RR-11BB
d^T*elopment test specification, with minor exceptions as set forth in the attached technical
. posal (enclosure 3`).
Because of our experience on contract RD-71 we are also able to propose an additional
option, Under this option we propose to submit only tuners and to make necessary modi-
fications to the RR-11P~ receiver developed under contract RD-71, to extend the operating
range from 12 -to 30 megacycles. This option would effect a considerable saving in equip-
ment and associated drawings and manuals, while maintaining reliability in operation, and
interchangeability of equipment. This desirable interchangeability feature could. a"lso be
effected on any future production order and would result in a considerable saving; 'to the
government. In addition to the saving in cost, we anticipate that two (2) months can b e
cuti'rom the delivery time i.f Option 2 is invoked.
'al'e trust that our proposal possesses sufficient detail for your purposes, however, we
would be pleased to enlarge on any aspect of our proposal if it tirould be helpful toy~ou.
Very truly yours,
` Vice Presi en - a es
