Purchase Order SPE8E925V1718

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) awarded a $8,175.50 firm fixed price purchase order to Rudy & Associates for the procurement of non-electrical wire. The contract, awarded on May 20, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 18, 2025, is to be performed in Fort Worth, Texas. No set-aside designation was applied to this award. Rudy & Associates, operated by Ernest Rudy III, is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA-certified HUBZone firm specializing in the manufacture of specialized metal products and components for defense applications. The company has maintained a consistent track record of supplying critical metallic components to the DLA across multiple product categories since its SAM.gov registration in 2002.

This purchase order represents a typical transaction within the vendor's broader engagement with the Defense Logistics Agency's Construction and Equipment division. Rudy & Associates' procurement history with the DLA includes multiple indefinite delivery contracts valued at $250,000 each, alongside numerous purchase orders for metal sheets, tubing, bars, and specialized aviation-grade components. The vendor's demonstrated capability in meeting military specifications and its established vendor relationships position it as a reliable source for the DLA's supply chain requirements. The relatively short performance period for this contract reflects the streamlined procurement approach typical of purchase orders for standard inventory replenishment.
