The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by December 1, 2025, and will be performed at the contractor's facility in Fort Worth, Texas. Rudy & Associates is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA-certified HUBZone firm that specializes in manufacturing specialized metal products to military specifications, serving as a critical supplier to the DLA's various divisions including Land and Maritime, Construction and Equipment, and Aviation.

This purchase order represents a typical component of the DLA's broader supply chain management operations, which maintain inventory at warehouses across Continental United States and Outside Continental United States locations.

The firm's SDVOSB and HUBZone certifications, combined with its demonstrated capability to deliver military-specification components, position it as a preferred vendor for the DLA's procurement of specialized metal products and related materials.
