Purchase Order SPE8E425PQ392

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a $1,568.00 firm fixed price purchase order to Rudy & Associates for a structural angle, effective June 16, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of November 10, 2025. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, is to be performed in Fort Worth, Texas. Rudy & Associates, operated by Ernest Rudy III, is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm specializing in the manufacture of specialized metal products for Department of Defense applications. The company has a long-standing relationship with the DLA, having been registered in SAM.gov since 2002, and consistently delivers metallic components including structural angles, bars, sheets, plates, tubes, and aviation-grade aluminum parts meeting military specifications.

This purchase order represents a routine procurement under the DLA's Land and Maritime division supply chain. Rudy & Associates holds multiple indefinite delivery contracts with the DLA valued at $250,000 each for metal sheets and metallic tubing, and this structural angle order demonstrates the company's ongoing capability to fulfill critical component requirements across the agency's warehouse network. The relatively modest contract ceiling reflects the specific quantity and specification requirements for this particular structural angle component, consistent with the DLA's practice of issuing simplified delivery orders for specialized metal products to maintain stock levels at Continental United States and overseas locations.
