Purchase Order SPE8E426V0559

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a $18,048 firm fixed-price purchase order for sheet metal to Rudy & Associates, a Fort Worth, Texas-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm. The contract, awarded on January 21, 2026, is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside and carries an ultimate completion date of September 28, 2026. The work will be performed at the contractor's facility in Kendale, Texas. Rudy & Associates, operating as a sole proprietorship since its federal contractor registration in 2002, specializes in manufacturing military-specification metallic components including sheet metal, structural angles, tubes, and aviation-grade aluminum products for Department of Defense supply chains.

This purchase order represents typical ordering activity under Rudy & Associates' existing relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency, which has consistently awarded the company individual purchase orders and three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued at $250,000 each for specialized metallic tubing components. The company's established capability in producing military-specification metal products, combined with its verified small business and veteran-owned certifications, positions it as a qualified supplier within the DLA's broader procurement strategy to leverage certified small businesses for defense logistics operations. The contractor's demonstrated track record across multiple product lines and contract types reflects the DLA's confidence in the company's manufacturing capabilities and delivery performance.
