Purchase Order SPE8E425V1717

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) awarded a $3,055.50 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates for metal bars on July 25, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of October 28, 2025. The contract, which includes no 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 (SDVOSB) and SBA-certified HUBZone firm specializing in manufacturing specialized metal products to military specifications. The company has maintained a consistent track record of supplying critical metallic components to the DLA across multiple divisions since its registration in SAM.gov in 2002.

This purchase order represents a single transaction within the context of Rudy & Associates' broader relationship with the DLA, which includes three Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued at $250,000 each for metal sheets and metallic tubing. The company's expertise in producing aviation-grade aluminum parts, structural angles, and other metal components aligns with the DLA's requirements for maintaining stock levels at warehouses throughout the Continental United States and overseas locations. The firm fixed-price structure and relatively short performance timeline reflect the standard procurement methodology used by the DLA for routine replenishment of specialized metal inventory.
