Hi Robert,
as I told in my previous mails, now I found time to read attentively 
your
page
US Army Acquisition Programs
and I'm able to add some minor points:
For the Heavy Bomber competition of 14 aprile 1934 I found also the 
headline
"Experimental Bomber"; the Boeing tender was Model 294 (291 is probably 
a
typo in some source); those two projects answered a first part of the
contest, labelled as Project A. On 5 february 1935 there was request 
for a
Project D, with answers from
Douglas (XBLR-2)
Sikorsky (XBLR-3)

For the USAAC Design Competition X-608, the RFPs were sent on february 
1937
to:
Bell (no answer)
Boeing (no information about)
Consolidated (no information)
Lockheed Model 22 (winner as XP-38)
Hughes D-2 (private venture, also quoted as D-2A, XD-2, DX-2 and D-3)
Curtiss-Wright (no information)
Douglas (I'm not sure of RFP sent)
Vultee XP.1015

For the USAAC Design Competition X-609 I have  the date of February 
1937
Tenders were:
Bell Model 3 (as Model 4 but with 25-mm gun)
        Model 4 Airacobra (XP-39)
Curtiss-Wright H-75-I (XP-37)
                           H-75P (XP-40, winner)
                           H-75R (w/ R-1830-19 engine)
                          H-75S (XP-42)
Lockheed (no information)
Seversky AP-3 (P-35 with V-1710 engine, retired proposal)
                 AP-4 (YP-43 Lancer)
                 AP-4D (XP-41)

Moreover, let me know the format you prefer for pictures (i.e. how many 
DPIs
and ks) as I think to be able to find some of interest for you
