The U.S. Air Mobility Command awarded a $89,000 delivery order for domestic charter air transportation services to Sun Country, Inc. (doing business as Sun Country Airlines) on October 2, 2015, with completion targeted for October 6, 2015. This firm fixed-price delivery order was issued without a set-aside designation, allowing unrestricted competition among qualified carriers. Sun Country, a for-profit commercial air carrier headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and subsidiary of Minnesota Aviation, LLC, operates a fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft and serves as a critical provider of domestic and international charter airlift services to the Department of Defense.
This delivery order is a child contract under the parent Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 indefinite delivery contract vehicle administered by Air Mobility Command. The award reflects Sun Country's established capability to support military operations, personnel movement, and logistics requirements across the federal government. The company's authorization under this and other master contracts, including the larger Civil Reserve Air Fleet program, enables it to provide responsive air transportation solutions that augment Department of Defense airlift capacity during operational and contingency situations.
