The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime division awarded a $2,064 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates for metallic pipe on November 18, 2025, with completion targeted for January 20, 2026. The award was made without a set-aside designation to the Fort Worth, Texas-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm, which specializes in manufacturing military-specification metal components and structural products for Department of Defense supply chain operations. Performance will occur at the contractor's facility in Kendale, Texas.

Rudy & Associates, operated as a sole proprietorship by Ernest Rudy III since 2002, has established itself as a consistent supplier to the Defense Logistics Agency through an extensive portfolio of individual purchase orders and delivery orders. The company currently holds three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA's Land and Maritime division, each valued at $250,000, for specialized metallic tubes supporting military distribution operations. This purchase order represents a continuation of the company's role as a qualified small business supplier providing military-specification metallic components essential to defense logistics infrastructure across continental and overseas locations.
