Purchase Order SPE8E925V1887

The U.S. Department of Defense, through its Construction and Equipment division, awarded a $1,983.52 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates for the procurement of a structural beam. The contract, issued on June 17, 2025, is set to reach completion by November 14, 2025. Rudy & Associates, operated by Ernest Rudy III and located in Fort Worth, Texas, is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA-certified HUBZone firm specializing in manufacturing specialized metal products to military specifications. This award carries no set-aside designation, reflecting the vendor's ability to compete on an open basis while leveraging its established position as a qualified supplier of critical metal components to the Department of Defense.

This purchase order represents a continuation of Rudy & Associates' ongoing relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency, which has consistently awarded the firm contracts for metal components including structural angles, beams, bars, sheets, plates, and specialized aviation-grade materials. The company holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the DLA Land and Maritime division, each valued at $250,000 and designated for total small business participation, enabling the agency to issue streamlined delivery orders for inventory replenishment at military warehouse locations. The current structural beam procurement aligns with the vendor's core manufacturing capabilities and supports the Department of Defense's supply chain requirements for construction and equipment applications.
