Purchase Order SPE7M425V4780

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division awarded a $1,603.10 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates, operated by Ernest Rudy III, for the procurement of metallic pipe. The contract, awarded on July 30, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of October 28, 2025, represents a straightforward purchase order with no set-aside designation. Rudy & Associates, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA-certified HUBZone firm based in Fort Worth, Texas, will perform the work at its Fort Worth location. The company specializes in manufacturing specialized metal products to military specifications and has established a track record of supplying critical metal components to the DLA across multiple product categories.

This purchase order aligns with Rudy & Associates' core competencies in metallic component manufacturing and supports the DLA's mission to maintain adequate inventory levels at distribution warehouses across the Continental United States and overseas locations. The company's existing portfolio includes three Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the DLA Land and Maritime division, each valued at $250,000, demonstrating its capacity and reliability as a supplier of high-quality, military-specification metal products. The relatively modest ceiling value of this particular purchase order reflects typical ordering patterns for specialized components within the DLA's supply chain management system.
