Purchase Order SPE7M126P2833

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime division awarded a $4,605.60 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm based in Fort Worth, Texas. The contract, awarded on January 7, 2026, procures metallic tubing components for defense logistics operations, with performance scheduled for completion by July 1, 2026, at the contractor's Kendale, Texas facility. This award utilizes no set-aside designation and represents an individual purchase order rather than a larger indefinite delivery contract vehicle.

Rudy & Associates, operated by Ernest Rudy III as a sole proprietorship since 2002, specializes in manufacturing military-specification metal products including tubes, bars, sheets, plates, and aviation-grade aluminum components. The company currently maintains three active indefinite delivery contracts with the DLA valued at $250,000 each, each focusing on distinct metallic tube national stock numbers with guaranteed minimum quantities and estimated annual order frequencies ranging from seven to twelve orders. This purchase order complements the contractor's ongoing supply relationship with DLA, supporting the agency's mission to furnish military-specification components to defense distribution centers throughout continental and overseas locations.
