The U.S. Air Force's Air Mobility Command awarded a $404,000 delivery order for domestic charter air transportation services to Sun Country, Inc., doing business as Sun Country Airlines, on December 23, 2016, with an ultimate completion date of January 4, 2017. This firm fixed-price delivery order was issued without set-aside designation under the Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 parent contract and required performance at Victorville, California. Sun Country Airlines, a Minneapolis-based commercial air carrier and subsidiary of Minnesota Aviation, LLC, operates a Boeing 737 fleet and specializes in providing comprehensive air transportation support to the Department of Defense, including passenger transport, cargo movement, and logistics resupply operations.
This delivery order represents a discrete procurement within Air Mobility Command's broader domestic charter airlift services program, which leverages commercial carriers to support military operations and logistics requirements. The award to Sun Country on an unrestricted, competitive basis reflects the carrier's established qualification to deliver federal air transportation services. The short performance window and specific location designation indicate this was a targeted transportation requirement supporting Air Force operations or logistics needs during the 2016-2017 timeframe.
