Purchase Order SPE8E426V0335

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a $1,200 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates for sheet metal on November 26, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of February 24, 2026. The awardee, Rudy III, Ernest, doing business as Rudy & Associates, is a Fort Worth, Texas-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm specializing in manufacturing military-specification metal products and components. This purchase order award carries no set-aside designation, though the contractor maintains a robust portfolio of small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-aside awards with the DLA. Performance will occur at the company's Kendale, Texas facility.

Rudy & Associates has established itself as a consistent supplier to the Defense Logistics Agency, maintaining federal contractor registration since 2002 and currently holding three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued at $250,000 each with the DLA's Land and Maritime division. The company's specialization in metallic components—including tubes, plates, bars, sheets, structural angles, and aviation-grade aluminum parts—supports military supply chain operations at distribution centers globally. This particular purchase order represents one of many individual orders the company fulfills through its established relationship with the DLA, which leverages the contractor's demonstrated expertise in meeting stringent defense procurement standards.
