The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a $1,078.20 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates for metal bars on October 10, 2025, with completion required by January 5, 2026. The awardee is a Fort Worth, Texas-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm operated as a sole proprietorship by Ernest Rudy III.
