Purchase Order SPE7M425V5102

The U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency awarded a $2,348.40 firm fixed price purchase order to Rudy & Associates for the procurement of metallic tubes. The contract, awarded on August 15, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of November 13, 2025, was issued without a set-aside designation. Rudy & Associates, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm based in Fort Worth, Texas, will perform the work at the Fort Worth location. The funding originates from the DLA's Land and Maritime division, which procures specialized metal components to maintain inventory levels across Continental United States and Outside the Continental United States warehouse facilities.

Rudy & Associates, operated by Ernest Rudy III as a sole proprietorship, is a manufacturer of military-specification metal products with a established track record serving the DLA since 2002. The company holds three indefinite delivery contracts valued at $250,000 each with the DLA Land and Maritime division for metal sheets and metallic tubing, which provide a framework for simplified delivery orders like this current purchase order. The vendor's specialization in producing aviation-grade and structural metal components, combined with its small business certifications, positions it as a critical supplier for the DLA's ongoing requirements for specialized metallic materials that support defense logistics operations.
