Purchase Order SPE7L326P1778

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a $4,391.10 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates for the procurement of metallic tubes on January 8, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of April 8, 2026. The awardee, Ernest Rudy III doing business as Rudy & Associates, is a Fort Worth, Texas-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm specializing in manufacturing military-specification metal products and components for the Department of Defense. Performance will occur at the company's facility in Kennedale, Texas, and no set-aside designation was applied to this specific purchase order, though the vendor maintains an active portfolio of small business and service-disabled veteran-owned set-asides with the Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime division.

This purchase order represents a discrete transaction within the context of Rudy & Associates' broader relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency, which includes three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued at $250,000 each for specialized metallic tubing components supporting military supply chain operations. The vendor has maintained federal contractor registration since 2002 and demonstrates consistent capability in delivering military-grade metallic products including tubes, bars, sheets, plates, and structural angles. The Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime division utilizes these procurement vehicles to source components for distribution centers throughout Continental and Overseas Continental United States locations, leveraging the contractor's established expertise and capacity in defense-critical manufacturing.
