Sun Country Airlines, a Minneapolis-based commercial air carrier and subsidiary of Minnesota Aviation, LLC, was awarded a delivery order valued at $81.5K on July 16, 2015, by the Air Mobility Command to provide domestic charter air transportation services with a performance location in San Jose, California. The delivery order, issued under the Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 parent contract, was structured as a firm fixed-price award with no set-aside designation, reflecting an unrestricted competitive procurement. The contract's ultimate completion date was established as July 25, 2015, a relatively short performance period consistent with the charter transportation model.
This delivery order represents a component of Sun Country's broader engagement with the Department of Defense, particularly the Air Force's Air Mobility Command, which has consistently awarded the carrier task orders and delivery orders for domestic and international airlift services. The company operates a Boeing 737 fleet and has demonstrated capability in providing personnel movement, cargo transport, and logistics support operations. Sun Country's positioning on multiple Air Mobility Command vehicles and subsequent awards—including a current $86.8M Indefinite Delivery Contract for Civil Reserve Air Fleet International Charter Airlift Services through 2030—underscores the company's strategic role in augmenting federal airlift capacity during operational requirements and national contingencies.
