The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) awarded a $4,022.70 purchase order to Rudy & Associates, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA-certified HUBZone firm located in Fort Worth, Texas, on August 21, 2025. The contract is for a structural section component with performance completion targeted for January 5, 2026. This firm-fixed-price purchase order does not utilize a set-aside designation and is being performed at the contractor's Fort Worth, Texas facility. Ernest Rudy III is the principal of Rudy & Associates, a sole proprietorship specializing in the manufacture of military-specification metal products including structural angles, beams, metal sheets, plates, tubes, and aviation-grade components.

Rudy & Associates has established itself as a reliable supplier to the DLA through consistent contract performance since its SAM.gov registration in 2002. The company currently maintains three Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the DLA Land and Maritime division, each valued at $250,000 and designated for total small business participation, which support the procurement of metal sheets and metallic tubing for DLA warehouses throughout the Continental United States and overseas locations. This purchase order award reflects the DLA's continued reliance on the contractor's specialized expertise in delivering critical metal components that meet stringent military specifications across the department's supply chain operations.
