Purchase Order SPE8E926V0009

The U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Construction and Equipment division awarded a purchase order valued at $8,273.90 to Rudy & Associates for the manufacture of sheet metal components. The contract, executed on October 1, 2025, is structured as a firm fixed-price purchase order with an ultimate completion date of December 8, 2025. No set-aside designation was applied to this award. Rudy & Associates, operating as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA-certified HUBZone firm located in Fort Worth, Texas, was selected to deliver these specialized metal products in support of the DLA's inventory requirements.

Rudy & Associates, led by Ernest Rudy III, has established a track record as a manufacturer of military-specification metal products serving the Defense Logistics Agency since its SAM.gov registration in 2002. The company specializes in producing metallic components including sheets, plates, tubes, structural angles, and aviation-grade aluminum parts that meet stringent military standards. Beyond this individual purchase order, the company maintains three indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued at $250,000 and designated for total small business participation. These contract vehicles, along with this current sheet metal purchase order, demonstrate the contractor's capability to supply critical metal components across the DLA's various divisions and support sustained inventory management at warehouses throughout the continental and non-continental United States.
