Purchase Order SPE8E425PQ443

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a $1,739.00 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA-certified HUBZone firm based in Fort Worth, Texas, for the procurement of metal bars. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by November 3, 2025, with a performance location in Fort Worth. Rudy & Associates, operated as a sole proprietorship by Ernest Rudy III, specializes in manufacturing specialized metal components and has maintained a consistent contracting relationship with the DLA since its SAM.gov registration in 2002.

This purchase order aligns with the DLA's broader supply chain operations across its Land and Maritime, Construction and Equipment, and Aviation divisions, where Rudy & Associates has demonstrated capability in delivering military-specification metal products. The contractor holds three Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued at $250,000 each with the DLA Land and Maritime division, which provide a framework for streamlined ordering of metal sheets and metallic tubing to support DLA warehouse stock levels across both Continental United States and overseas locations. The current metal bar contract represents a discrete procurement within the company's established portfolio of federal defense contracting activities.
