Purchase Order SPE8E426V0127

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a $1,784.00 firm fixed-price purchase order for sheet metal to Rudy & Associates, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm based in Fort Worth, Texas. The contract, awarded on October 27, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 26, 2025, represents a continuation of the agency's ongoing relationship with the vendor. No set-aside designation was applied to this particular purchase order, though Rudy & Associates maintains multiple active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency valued at $250,000 each that do carry total small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-aside designations.

Rudy & Associates, operating as a sole proprietorship since 2002, specializes in manufacturing military-specification metal products and components for Department of Defense supply chain operations. The vendor's expertise encompasses sheet metal, metallic tubes, plates, structural angles, and specialized aviation-grade aluminum components that meet stringent defense procurement standards. The company currently holds three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the DLA's Land and Maritime division for metallic tubing components, with anticipated order frequencies ranging from approximately seven to twelve orders annually across the three vehicle contracts. Performance will take place at the vendor's Fort Worth facility, consistent with the company's established manufacturing operations.
