Purchase Order SPE7M426V0395

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $12,335.40 to Rudy & Associates for the procurement of metallic tubes. The award, issued on October 20, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of January 20, 2026, represents a single-order fulfillment under one of the contractor's three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with DLA. The contract carries no set-aside designation at the order level, though Rudy & Associates maintains Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and HUBZone certifications. Performance will occur at the contractor's Fort Worth, Texas facility, where the company manufactures military-specification metallic components to support global Defense Logistics Agency distribution operations.

Rudy & Associates, a Fort Worth-based sole proprietorship owned by service-disabled veteran Ernest Rudy III, has served as a consistent supplier to the Defense Logistics Agency since 2002. The company specializes in manufacturing military-specification metal products including tubes, bars, sheets, and structural components that meet stringent defense procurement standards. The three active IDCs with DLA—each valued at $250,000 with one-year performance periods—provide the framework for recurring deliveries of specialized metallic tubing under different National Stock Numbers, with estimated order frequencies ranging from seven to twelve orders annually. This purchase order exemplifies the agency's efficient procurement approach through automated delivery orders that leverage the contractor's established manufacturing capabilities and quality standards for Defense Department supply chain operations.
