The U.S. Air Force's Air Mobility Command awarded a $213.6K delivery order for domestic charter air transportation services to Sun Country, Inc. (doing business as Sun Country Airlines) on July 6, 2016. This firm fixed-price delivery order, with an ultimate completion date of August 1, 2016, was issued without set-aside designation and performed in Alexandria, Louisiana. Sun Country, a for-profit commercial air carrier headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, operates a fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft and specializes in providing comprehensive air transportation services to the Department of Defense, including passenger transport, cargo movement, and logistics resupply operations supporting military operations and homeland security missions.
This delivery order represents a child contract under the Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 parent contract vehicle, which establishes a framework for the Air Mobility Command to procure domestic airlift services from qualified commercial carriers on a competitive basis. Sun Country's award reflects its established qualifications as a critical federal air transportation provider, complementing the company's broader engagement with the Department of Defense across multiple contract vehicles, including its substantial Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) international charter airlift services contract and positioning on the Global Heavyweight Services (GHS) indefinite delivery contract administered by the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
