Purchase Order SPE8E425V1900

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) awarded a purchase order valued at $6,524.70 to Rudy & Associates, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA-certified HUBZone firm based in Fort Worth, Texas, for the procurement of metal bars. The contract, awarded on August 27, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 15, 2025, was executed under a firm fixed-price arrangement with no set-aside designation. Rudy & Associates, operated by Ernest Rudy III as a sole proprietorship and registered in SAM.gov since 2002, specializes in manufacturing specialized metal products and metallic components to military specifications, serving the Defense Logistics Agency across multiple product categories and warehouse locations.

This purchase order represents a continuation of the DLA's relationship with Rudy & Associates, which maintains three Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the DLA Land and Maritime division, each valued at $250,000 and designated for total small business participation. The company's consistent track record of delivering critical metal components—including metal bars, sheets, plates, tubes, and aviation-grade aluminum parts—demonstrates its capability to fulfill DLA procurement requirements. The company's SDVOSB and HUBZone certifications align with federal contracting priorities, and its historical contract awards from the DLA's Land and Maritime, Construction and Equipment, and Aviation divisions underscore its role as a key supplier of specialized metallic products supporting Department of Defense operations.
