Sun Country Airlines, a Minneapolis-based commercial air carrier, received a $76,000 firm fixed-price delivery order from the Air Mobility Command for domestic charter air transportation services. The order, issued on June 20, 2016, with an ultimate completion date of June 26, 2016, represents a short-duration charter airlift requirement to be performed in Hermantown, Minnesota. This delivery order was awarded without set-aside restrictions on an unrestricted competitive basis, demonstrating the contractor's qualification to compete directly against other carriers for Air Mobility Command requirements. The award falls under the parent Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 indefinite delivery contract, which provides the Air Mobility Command with flexible access to commercial air transportation capacity for time-sensitive operational needs.
