Sun Country, Inc., operating as Sun Country Airlines, was awarded a delivery order valued at $184,000 for domestic charter air transportation services to support operations at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina. The award, issued on August 17, 2015, with an ultimate completion date of August 21, 2015, represents a firm fixed-price engagement with no set-aside designation. This delivery order falls under the Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 parent contract vehicle and was funded by the Air Mobility Command, the Department of Defense agency responsible for military airlift operations. Sun Country, a Minneapolis-based commercial air carrier specializing in federal transportation services, operates a Boeing 737 fleet and provides comprehensive charter airlift capabilities including passenger transport, cargo movement, and logistics resupply in support of military operations.
The award reflects Sun Country's established qualifications as a prime contractor for the Air Mobility Command's domestic charter requirements. The company has demonstrated sustained capability in delivering time-sensitive transportation services to military installations and maintains broader positioning on the Air Mobility Command's larger Civil Reserve Air Fleet contract for international charter services, as well as the Office of the Secretary of Defense's Global Heavyweight Services contract. This delivery order exemplifies the standardized, competitive procurement approach used by the Department of Defense to leverage commercial air carriers for flexible and responsive airlift support across the military enterprise.
