Purchase Order SPE8E426V0283

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $7,554.25 to Rudy & Associates, a Fort Worth, Texas-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA-certified HUBZone firm, for the procurement of sheet metal. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation at the individual order level, was awarded on November 18, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of March 9, 2026, and will be performed at the contractor's facility in Kendale, Texas. Rudy & Associates, operated by Ernest Rudy III as a sole proprietorship, specializes in manufacturing military-specification metallic components and has maintained federal contractor registration since 2002.

This purchase order represents part of Rudy & Associates' ongoing business relationship with the DLA, which serves as the company's primary funding agency. The contractor currently maintains three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the DLA's Land and Maritime division, each valued at $250,000 with performance periods extending through late 2026, focused on the procurement of specialized metallic tubes. The company's manufacturing capabilities and consistent delivery performance have positioned it as a reliable supplier of defense-critical metal products throughout the federal supply chain, with a portfolio encompassing sheet metal, structural angles, aluminum components, and other specialized metallic materials meeting stringent defense procurement standards.
