Purchase Order SPE7M425P5427

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime awarded a $183,180.30 firm fixed price purchase order to Rudy & Associates (UEI: LBF1QJLUKNN9), a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm based in Fort Worth, Texas, for the procurement of metallic tubes (NSN 4710003458474). The contract, awarded on July 14, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of May 11, 2026, fulfills a Request for Quote solicitation posted in May 2025 seeking 3,274 linear feet of military-specification metallic tubing for delivery to DLA Distribution Warner Robins within 119 days of order. The solicitation was open to all responsible sources with no set-aside designation applied. Rudy & Associates, owned by Ernest Rudy III and operating as a sole proprietorship since 2002, specializes in manufacturing military-specification metal components and has established a track record of supplying critical metal products to DLA divisions.

This award represents one transaction under Rudy & Associates' broader relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency, which includes three Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued at $250,000 each with the Land and Maritime division for metal sheets and metallic tubing. The company's demonstrated capability in producing aviation-grade and structural metal components, combined with its small business certifications and established federal contracting history, positioned it as a qualified supplier for this procurement. The purchase order delivery requirement reflects the DLA's mission to maintain adequate stock levels at distribution centers across Continental and Outside Continental United States locations to support Defense Department operations.
