Purchase Order SPE7M426V0552

The Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime division awarded a $5,250 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 the procurement of metallic tubes. The contract, awarded on October 29, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 29, 2025, represents a discrete purchase order rather than part of a larger contract vehicle, though Rudy & Associates maintains three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the same DLA division valued at $250,000 each for related metallic tube products under different National Stock Numbers. No set-aside designation was applied to this specific purchase order.

Rudy & Associates, operating as a sole proprietorship since 2002, specializes in manufacturing military-specification metal products and components for Department of Defense supply chain operations. The company has established itself as a consistent supplier through an extensive portfolio of purchase orders from the DLA, delivering specialized metallic components including tubes, bars, sheets, and aviation-grade aluminum parts that meet stringent defense procurement standards. All manufacturing and fulfillment activities occur at the company's Fort Worth facility, and the metallic tubes procured under this award support military supply chain operations at DLA distribution centers throughout the Continental and Overseas Continental United States.
