The U.S. Air Mobility Command awarded a $121,000 domestic charter air transportation delivery order to Sun Country, Inc. (doing business as Sun Country Airlines) on May 1, 2015, with completion targeted for May 22, 2015. This delivery order, issued under the parent Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 contract vehicle, represents a firm fixed-price engagement with no set-aside designation, enabling Sun Country to compete directly against other qualified carriers. The performance location was La Crosse, Wisconsin, and the award reflects the Air Mobility Command's reliance on commercial air carriers to augment Department of Defense airlift capacity for domestic transportation requirements.
Sun Country Airlines, a Minneapolis-based commercial air carrier and subsidiary of Minnesota Aviation LLC, specializes in providing comprehensive air transportation services to the federal government, including passenger transport, cargo movement, and logistics support. The company operates a fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft and has established itself as a critical provider of domestic and international charter services supporting military operations and Department of Defense missions. This delivery order exemplifies the routine utilization of commercial carriers through established indefinite delivery contract vehicles, enabling the government to rapidly procure air transportation services to meet operational requirements across the Defense Department enterprise.
