Sun Country, Inc., operating as Sun Country Airlines, received a $39,000 firm fixed-price delivery order for domestic charter air transportation services awarded by the Air Mobility Command (AMC) on April 29, 2015, with an ultimate completion date of May 2, 2015. The award was made on an unrestricted, competitive basis with no set-aside designation. The contract is a child order issued under the Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 parent indefinite delivery contract and will be performed in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Sun Country Airlines, a for-profit commercial air carrier headquartered in Minneapolis and subsidiary of Minnesota Aviation, LLC, specializes in providing comprehensive air transportation services to the Department of Defense, including domestic and international charter airlift, cargo transport, aeromedical evacuations, and personnel movement capabilities.
This delivery order represents a continuation of Sun Country's ongoing support to AMC for federal airlift requirements. The company operates a fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft and has established itself as a critical provider of domestic charter services to the Air Force. The brief performance period of three days suggests this represents an urgent or time-sensitive transportation requirement within the continental United States. As a participant in the broader federal air transportation contracting vehicle, Sun Country competes directly against other qualified commercial carriers to support military operations, logistics resupply, and other Department of Defense missions.
