Purchase Order SPE8E425V1793

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a $3,195 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates for the procurement of metal bars on August 11, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of November 4, 2025. The work 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 specializing in the manufacture of specialized metal products and components to military specifications. This contract award carries no set-aside designation, though the vendor's portfolio demonstrates consistent success in competing for DLA contracts across multiple product categories.

Rudy & Associates has established a strong track record supplying critical metal components to the Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime, Construction and Equipment, and Aviation divisions through numerous purchase orders and three Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued at $250,000 each. The company's expertise in producing military-specification metallic components—including bars, sheets, plates, tubes, structural angles, and aviation-grade aluminum parts—positions it as a reliable supplier for DLA warehouse stock maintenance at Continental United States and international locations. This purchase order for metal bars represents a continuation of the vendor's ongoing role in supporting Department of Defense supply chain requirements.
