Purchase Order SPE8E426V0299

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $2,553.46 to Rudy & Associates, a Fort Worth, Texas-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and HUBZone-certified firm, for the procurement of structural angles. The contract, issued on November 19, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of February 17, 2026, represents a non-set-aside purchase order for military-specification metallic components. Rudy & Associates, operated by Ernest Rudy III as a sole proprietorship since 2002, specializes in manufacturing defense-grade metal products including structural angles, tubes, sheets, and aviation-grade aluminum components that meet stringent Department of Defense procurement standards. Performance will occur at the contractor's facility in Kendale, Texas.

This award reflects the Defense Logistics Agency's ongoing reliance on Rudy & Associates as a qualified supplier within its supply chain operations. The contractor currently maintains three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the DLA's Land and Maritime division, each valued at $250,000 with performance periods extending through late 2026, which collectively support the agency's procurement of specialized metallic tubing components distributed to military supply chain operations globally. The relatively modest value of this particular purchase order is consistent with the contractor's typical transaction size and demonstrates the DLA's continued engagement with this qualified small business vendor for individual component procurement needs supporting military logistics operations.
