The contract, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, was awarded on October 27, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of February 17, 2026. The solicitation, posted on October 15, 2025, sought 20 units of metal plates across two line items with delivery required within 167 days of order to DLA Distribution facility W1A8. The performance location is established at Rudy & Associates' manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas, where the company specializes in producing military-specification metallic components and plates for Department of Defense supply chain operations.

Rudy & Associates brings significant relevant experience to this award, having maintained federal contractor registration since 2002 and consistently supplied the Defense Logistics Agency with specialized metal products including tubes, plates, bars, and aviation-grade components. The company's selection aligns with the DLA's strategic commitment to leveraging certified small business capabilities, as evidenced by the contractor's existing portfolio of approximately 40 percent of recent awards designated under small business or service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides. Additionally, Rudy & Associates currently holds three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the DLA Land and Maritime division, each valued at $250,000, providing the agency with reliable access to metallic tubing and related components that support military logistics operations domestically and overseas.
