Purchase Order SPE8E925V1467

The U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), through its Construction and Equipment division, awarded a $1,057.81 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates on April 23, 2025, for the procurement of a structural angle, a standard metallic component. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by August 1, 2025, and will be performed at the company's facility in Fort Worth, Texas. Rudy & Associates, operated by Ernest Rudy III as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA-certified HUBZone firm, specializes in manufacturing military-specification metal products and has maintained an established relationship with the DLA since its SAM.gov registration in 2002.

This award reflects the DLA's ongoing procurement strategy to maintain critical inventory levels across its warehouse network through partnerships with qualified small business suppliers. Rudy & Associates' capability to deliver specialized metallic components, including structural angles, bars, sheets, plates, and tubes, supports the Defense Department's operational readiness and supply chain resilience. The company's portfolio includes three Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the DLA valued at $250,000 each, which are designated for total small business participation and cover various metal products with guaranteed minimum order quantities and estimated ordering frequencies of 3-10 times annually.
