On March 2, 2017, the Air Mobility Command, a defense agency within the U.S. Department of Defense, awarded a domestic charter air transportation delivery order valued at $769.5K to Sun Country, Inc., doing business as Sun Country Airlines. This firm fixed-price delivery order, with an ultimate completion date of March 11, 2017, was issued without a set-aside designation, indicating unrestricted competition. The contract was executed for air transportation services with performance location in Killeen, Texas, and represents a child delivery order under the larger Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 indefinite delivery vehicle. Sun Country, a Minneapolis-based commercial air carrier and subsidiary of Minnesota Aviation, LLC, specializes in providing comprehensive domestic and international charter airlift services to the federal government.
Sun Country operates a fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft and has established itself as a critical provider of personnel movement, cargo transport, aeromedical evacuations, and logistics resupply operations in support of military operations and Department of Defense missions. The company maintains multiple contract vehicles with Air Mobility Command, including a substantial $86.8M indefinite delivery contract for Civil Reserve Air Fleet international charter airlift services and positions on the Office of the Secretary of Defense's $1.5B Global Heavyweight Services contract. This delivery order reflects Sun Country's ongoing role as a qualified commercial air carrier supporting critical defense transportation requirements under firm fixed-price arrangements consistent with standardized federal air transportation procurement practices.
