Purchase Order SPE8E425V2087

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) awarded a $16,679.40 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates for metal bars on September 29, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of January 20, 2026. This total small business set-aside contract is performed in Fort Worth, Texas, by Ernest Rudy III, who operates the company as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA-certified HUBZone firm. The contract represents a straightforward procurement of specialized metal products that fall within the DLA's broader mission to supply critical components to Department of Defense operations.

Rudy & Associates has established itself as a reliable supplier to the DLA since its SAM.gov registration in 2002, consistently delivering military-specification metallic components across multiple product categories including structural angles, sheets, plates, and tubes. The company holds three existing Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued at $250,000 each with the DLA Land and Maritime division, which facilitate recurring orders of metal supplies to maintain stock levels at Defense logistics warehouses. This purchase order demonstrates the DLA's continued confidence in Rudy & Associates' capabilities and its commitment to supporting small business participation, particularly service-disabled veteran-owned enterprises, in its supply chain operations.
