Purchase Order SPE8E426V0373

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a purchase order for metal bars valued at $4,627.80 to Rudy & Associates, a Fort Worth, Texas-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm, on December 5, 2025. This firm fixed-price contract carries no set-aside designation and requires completion by March 25, 2026, with performance taking place in Kennedale, Texas. Rudy & Associates specializes in manufacturing military-specification metallic components and has maintained continuous federal contractor registration since 2002, serving as a consistent supplier to DLA across multiple divisions including Land and Maritime, Construction and Equipment, and Aviation.

The awarded purchase order represents a discrete transaction within Rudy & Associates' broader relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency, which includes three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued at $250,000 each and awarded in late September through early October 2025. The company's product portfolio encompasses metallic tubes, sheets, plates, structural angles, and specialized aviation-grade aluminum components that support military supply chain operations. DLA's procurement strategy demonstrates its commitment to leveraging small business capabilities, with approximately 40 percent of recent awards to Rudy & Associates designated as total small business set-asides or service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides, ensuring qualified minority and veteran-owned businesses participate meaningfully in defense industrial base operations.
