(doing business as Sun Country Airlines) on May 21, 2015, with completion targeted for June 13, 2015. This firm fixed-price delivery order was issued without set-aside designation under the parent Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 contract vehicle. The work will be performed in Victorville, California, and represents a continuation of Air Mobility Command's reliance on Sun Country's commercial airlift capabilities to meet near-term transportation requirements.

The company has become a key provider of domestic and international charter airlift services, cargo transport, personnel movement, and logistics support capabilities. This delivery order exemplifies the Air Mobility Command's strategic use of commercial carriers to augment federal airlift capacity, leveraging their operational flexibility and existing infrastructure to meet transportation needs across military installations and civilian locations.
