Purchase Order SPE7M425P6578

The U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division awarded a $2,244.07 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates for the procurement of metallic tubing. The contract, issued on September 19, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 18, 2025, was awarded without a set-aside designation to the Fort Worth, Texas-based manufacturer. Rudy & Associates, operated by Ernest Rudy III as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA-certified HUBZone firm, specializes in producing military-specification metal components and has maintained a consistent relationship with the DLA since its SAM.gov registration in 2002.

This purchase order represents a typical transactional award within the DLA's broader procurement strategy for metallic components essential to military logistics and operations. The contract aligns with Rudy & Associates' core competencies in metal product manufacturing and reflects the contractor's established capability to deliver critical components to government warehouses across Continental and Outside Continental United States locations. The relatively modest ceiling value and short performance window are characteristic of simplified delivery orders issued against larger indefinite delivery contract vehicles, which the vendor maintains with the DLA at $250,000 each for metal sheets and metallic tubing procurement.
