It really doesn't discuss the B3500 much at all. The smaller B2500 shipped in Feb 1967, the larger B3500 in May 1967. As of 1970, 69 had been shipped and there was a backlog of 190 (many of which went to the Navy stockpoints program). The first link for a google search on "Navy stockpoints b3500" brings up a DTIC document on the B3500, which can also be found here: https://archive.org/stream/systemintegratio00klin/systemintegratio00klin_djvu.txt
