Sun Country, Inc., operating as Sun Country Airlines, received a $154.6K delivery order from the Air Mobility Command (AMC) for domestic charter air transportation services. This firm fixed-price order, awarded July 29, 2016, with an ultimate completion date of August 3, 2016, represents performance in El Paso, Texas. The delivery order was issued under the "Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016" parent contract vehicle and was awarded on an unrestricted, competitive basis with no set-aside designation. As a for-profit commercial air carrier headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Sun Country operates a fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft and specializes in providing comprehensive air transportation services to the Department of Defense.
This delivery order supports AMC's domestic charter airlift mission, which augments the Department of Defense's organic airlift capacity to meet personnel movement, cargo transport, and logistics requirements. The Air Mobility Command, a major command of the United States Air Force, relies on commercial carriers like Sun Country to fulfill flexible transportation needs when organic military resources are unavailable or insufficient. The contract's brief performance window and firm fixed-price structure reflect the standardized nature of federal domestic charter air transportation procurements, positioning this delivery order as one of numerous awards Sun Country has received from AMC for time-sensitive airlift requirements.
