On June 30, 2016, the Air Mobility Command, a component of the Department of Defense, awarded a delivery order valued at $70.3K to Sun Country, Inc. (doing business as Sun Country Airlines) for domestic charter air transportation services. This firm fixed-price delivery order, with an ultimate completion date of July 8, 2016, was performed in Las Vegas, Nevada, and was awarded without a set-aside designation, reflecting open competition among qualified carriers.
