Purchase Order SPE7M425V5310

The U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division awarded a $2,787.48 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates for the procurement of metallic tubing. The contract, issued on August 25, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of November 24, 2025, was awarded without set-aside designation to the Fort Worth, Texas-based manufacturer. Rudy & Associates, operated by Ernest Rudy III and certified as both a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA HUBZone firm, specializes in producing military-specification metal components including tubes, bars, sheets, and structural angles for defense applications.

This purchase order represents a routine transaction within the established relationship between Rudy & Associates and the DLA, which has consistently procured specialized metal products from the vendor for critical defense logistics operations. The company's three existing Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the DLA Land and Maritime division, each valued at $250,000, demonstrate the broader scope of the commercial relationship and the contractor's demonstrated capability to supply high-quality metallic components to DLA warehouses across Continental and Outside Continental United States locations. The metallic tubing being procured under this purchase order supports the DLA's mission to maintain adequate inventory levels for military operations and readiness.
