Purchase Order SPE8E425V1676

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a $1,890.60 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates for metal bars on July 16, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of November 3, 2025. The contract, which does not utilize a set-aside designation, will 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 that specializes in manufacturing specialized metal products to military specifications. The company has been registered in the System for Award Management since 2002 and has an established track record of supplying critical metallic components to the DLA across multiple product categories.

This award represents a relatively modest purchase order within Rudy & Associates' broader contract portfolio with the DLA, which includes multiple indefinite delivery contracts valued at $250,000 each for metal sheets and tubing. The company's demonstrated capability to deliver military-grade metal components, combined with its veteran-owned small business status, positions it as a reliable supplier for DLA's ongoing material requirements across the Land and Maritime, Construction and Equipment, and Aviation divisions. The short performance timeline of approximately four months indicates this order addresses immediate supply needs at DLA distribution facilities.
