Purchase Order SPE7M426V0362

The Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime division awarded a $5,417.20 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates, a Fort Worth, Texas-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm, for metallic pipe components. The contract, awarded October 17, 2025, carries an ultimate completion date of March 6, 2026, with performance occurring at the contractor's Fort Worth facility. Rudy & Associates, operating as a sole proprietorship since 2002, specializes in manufacturing military-specification metal products and components for defense applications, including metallic tubing, sheets, plates, and aviation-grade aluminum parts that meet stringent procurement standards.

This award represents a discrete purchase order rather than a larger contract vehicle, though the contractor currently maintains three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued at $250,000, that were recently awarded in late September and early October 2025. These IDCs procure specialized metallic tubes under various National Stock Numbers with guaranteed minimum quantities and anticipated annual order frequencies designed to support military supply chain operations at distribution centers throughout the Continental and Overseas Continental United States. The company's consistent track record as a federal supplier, with contract values historically ranging from several hundred to over $168,000 individually, demonstrates DLA's confidence in leveraging its qualified small business status for defense logistics requirements.
