Sun Country Airlines, a Minneapolis-based commercial air carrier and subsidiary of Minnesota Aviation, LLC, was awarded a $231,150 firm fixed-price delivery order by the Air Mobility Command on July 17, 2018, for domestic charter air transportation services. The delivery order, which was completed by July 24, 2018, was issued under the Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract vehicle with no set-aside designation. Performance of the charter services took place at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. This award reflects Sun Country's established capability and qualification to provide responsive airlift support directly supporting Air Force mobility operations.
The delivery order represents a routine operational requirement for domestic charter transportation in support of Air Force priorities. Sun Country's Boeing 737 fleet and existing contract relationship with Air Mobility Command positioned the carrier to fulfill this specific transportation need competitively among other qualified carriers on the underlying contract vehicle. As a commercial air carrier integrated into the Department of Defense's organic and contracted airlift capacity, Sun Country continues to support military operational requirements through such delivery orders issued against its established contract vehicles.
