Purchase Order SPE8E425V1876

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a purchase order valued at $7,183.40 to Rudy & Associates for metal bars on August 22, 2025, with performance completion scheduled for December 22, 2025. The contract is structured as a firm fixed-price purchase order with no set-aside designation. Rudy & Associates, operated by Ernest Rudy III and based in Fort Worth, Texas, is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm that specializes in manufacturing metallic components to military specifications. The work will be performed at the contractor's Fort Worth facility.

This award reflects the ongoing relationship between the DLA and Rudy & Associates, which supplies critical metal products across the Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime, Construction and Equipment, and Aviation divisions. The contractor's established capability in producing military-specification metal components—including bars, sheets, plates, tubes, and specialized aviation-grade materials—positions it as a reliable supplier for the DLA's inventory maintenance requirements at warehouses throughout the Continental United States and overseas locations. The relatively modest contract value is typical of the company's individual purchase order awards, which complement its larger Indefinite Delivery Contract vehicles valued at $250,000 each.
