Purchase Order SPE8E426V0278

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $10,097.01 to Rudy III, Ernest, doing business as Rudy & Associates, for the procurement of structural angles. The contract, effective November 18, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of May 18, 2026, represents a standalone purchase order with no set-aside designation. Rudy & Associates, a Fort Worth, Texas-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm, will perform work at its facility in Kendale, TX. The company specializes in manufacturing military-specification metal products and components, including structural angles, metallic tubing, sheets, plates, and aviation-grade aluminum parts that meet stringent Department of Defense procurement standards.

This award reflects the DLA's continued reliance on Rudy & Associates as a qualified supplier within its metal products procurement portfolio. The contractor maintains three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the DLA Land and Maritime division, each valued at $250,000, which enable the agency to issue simplified delivery orders for specialized metallic tubing components supporting military supply chain operations. The firm has demonstrated consistent performance as a federal contractor since 2002, with an extensive portfolio of DLA purchase orders and delivery orders, positioning it as a reliable source for defense-grade metallic components across multiple DLA divisions including Land and Maritime, Construction and Equipment, and Aviation.
