Purchase Order SPE8E425V2048

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a $9,999.89 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates for metal bars on September 23, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of November 24, 2025. The contract, which carries 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 and SBA-certified HUBZone firm specializing in the manufacture of military-specification metal components. The company has been registered in the System for Award Management since 2002 and maintains a consistent track record of supplying critical metallic products to the Department of Defense through various DLA divisions.

This purchase order represents a typical engagement within Rudy & Associates' broader contracting 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 and structural metal components across various product categories positions it as a reliable supplier for DLA warehousing requirements across both continental and overseas locations. The award demonstrates the agency's continued reliance on small business vendors to maintain inventory levels of specialized metal products meeting strict military specifications.
