J-85

The J-85 acquisition program appears to be focused on aircraft engine systems and components, specifically involving gas turbines and jet engines. Based on the contract descriptions and product codes, this program involves both engineering development work (RDTE) and procurement of physical engine components. The program has been active since at least the mid-1980s through the 2010s, suggesting it supports a long-term aircraft platform or family of platforms.

The program's contract awards range from relatively small modifications of $25,000 to major engineering efforts exceeding $8 million, with contract periods typically spanning 3-5 years. Primary contractors include major aerospace firms such as General Electric Company, Honeywell International, Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation, and the Canadian Commercial Corporation. The majority of work has been performed in locations including Cincinnati, Ohio; Tempe, Arizona; and San Diego, California, with some international performance in Canada. The contracting activity has primarily been through the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center (OC-ALC) and other Air Force logistics centers. No set-aside designations were used in the reviewed contracts, with most awards using either Firm Fixed Price or Cost Plus Fixed Fee pricing arrangements. The work encompasses both Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDTE) activities and direct procurement of aircraft engine components and equipment.
