Competition opens to foreign firms after Daniels bid shake up
The effect of Competition Secretary Daniels easing restrictions on projectile production hurtling open bids to British and German makers. American manufacturers underbid and will save the government 850,825 dollars on wave ready ammunition with potential 1,067,790 dollar annual savings if orders rise 20 percent.Contracts for 3500 fourteen inch shells twelve inch shells and 30,000 five inch shells will be let as restoration of open competition yields lower prices. The Betheden company quoted 5.46 dollars for four inch shells and fourteen inch shells priced around 545 dollars last year. Sixteen inch shells cost 272 dollars previously. American firms replaced foreign bidders, breaking extortionate pricing as competition broadens. Secretary Daniels faced mixed reactions but the shift favored American manufacturers in a bid to lower costs.
