Purchase Order SPE8E426V0135

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a $12,480 firm fixed-price purchase order for metal bars to Rudy & Associates, a Fort Worth, Texas-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm, with an ultimate completion date of November 26, 2025. The award, issued on October 27, 2025, represents a continuation of the DLA's relationship with this specialized metallic components manufacturer, which has maintained federal contractor registration since 2002 and consistently supplied military-specification metal products to the agency. No set-aside designation was applied to this particular purchase order, though Rudy & Associates maintains three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the DLA Land and Maritime division, each valued at $250,000, that were awarded under total small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides for specialized metallic tubing components.

Rudy & Associates operates as a sole proprietorship specializing in manufacturing military-specification metal products including bars, sheets, plates, tubes, and aviation-grade aluminum components that meet stringent defense procurement standards. The company performs all manufacturing and fulfillment at its Fort Worth facility, where it supports the DLA's global military supply chain operations at distribution centers throughout continental and overseas continental United States locations. The firm's extensive portfolio of federal contract awards with the DLA, ranging from several hundred dollars to over $168,000 individually, demonstrates its established capability and reliability as a qualified supplier of specialized metallic components for Department of Defense procurement requirements.
