Sun Country, Inc., operating as Sun Country Airlines, was awarded a delivery order valued at $116.4K by the Air Mobility Command (AMC) for domestic charter air transportation services. This award, issued on July 1, 2016, with an ultimate completion date of July 23, 2016, represents a firm fixed-price contract with no set-aside designation. The delivery order falls under the Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 parent contract vehicle, which establishes the terms and conditions for AMC's acquisition of commercial air transportation capabilities to support Department of Defense operations and personnel movement requirements. The place of performance was La Crosse, Wisconsin, and the short performance period indicates this was a discrete, time-sensitive transportation requirement.
Sun Country Airlines, a Minneapolis-based commercial air carrier operating a Boeing 737 fleet, has become a primary provider of domestic and international charter airlift services to the federal government, particularly the Air Force's Air Mobility Command. The company's qualification to compete directly for this unrestricted delivery order demonstrates its established capability to meet the specialized air transportation demands of the Department of Defense. Sun Country's broader federal portfolio includes a significant role in the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) program, which leverages commercial carriers to augment DoD airlift capacity during national contingencies, and positions the company as a critical strategic asset for military mobility operations.
