Sun Country, Inc., operating as Sun Country Airlines, was awarded a delivery order valued at $271.8K by the Air Mobility Command (AMC) for domestic charter air transportation services. The order was issued on May 21, 2018, with an ultimate completion date of May 24, 2018, and represents work to be performed in Smyrna, Tennessee. This delivery order was issued under the Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 parent contract and was awarded on a firm fixed-price basis with no set-aside designation, allowing Sun Country to compete directly against other qualified carriers. As a commercial air carrier headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Sun Country provides comprehensive air transportation capabilities to the Department of Defense, including passenger transport, cargo movement, and logistics resupply operations utilizing its Boeing 737 fleet.
This delivery order reflects Sun Country's established role as a critical provider of airlift services to AMC, the Air Force component responsible for global military airlift operations. The contract's short performance window and specific location designation indicate a targeted operational requirement, consistent with AMC's mission to provide responsive air mobility support. Sun Country's positioning on multiple federal air transportation vehicles, including the Civil Reserve Air Fleet program and the Global Heavyweight Services contract, underscores its qualifications and strategic importance in supporting Department of Defense transportation and logistics operations across the federal government enterprise.
