Sun Country, Inc., operating as Sun Country Airlines, was awarded a domestic charter air transportation delivery order valued at $53,000 by the Air Mobility Command (AMC), a component of the U.S. Department of Defense. This firm fixed-price delivery order, issued on May 29, 2015, with an ultimate completion date of June 19, 2015, represents a child award under the Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 parent contract. The performance location was designated as Chicago, IL. As a Minneapolis-headquartered commercial air carrier specializing in federal government transportation services, Sun Country provided domestic charter airlift capabilities utilizing its Boeing 737 fleet to support AMC's operational requirements.
This delivery order was awarded on an unrestricted, competitive basis with no set-aside designation, reflecting Sun Country's established capability to compete directly for federal air transportation contracts. The award is consistent with AMC's broader reliance on commercial carriers to augment Department of Defense airlift capacity, a role that Sun Country has continued to fulfill through its current multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with AMC for Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) International Charter Airlift Services valued at $86.8 million, which extends through September 30, 2030, and demonstrates the company's long-standing partnership with the command.
