The Defense Logistics Agency's Construction and Equipment division awarded a $1,989 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm based in Fort Worth, Texas, for the procurement of a structural beam (National Stock Number 8511722482). The contract was awarded on October 24, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of January 12, 2026, with no set-aside designation applied to this particular order. Rudy & Associates, operated as a sole proprietorship by Ernest Rudy III, specializes in manufacturing military-specification metal products and components for defense applications, drawing on over two decades of federal contractor registration dating to 2002.

This purchase order represents a single transaction within Rudy & Associates' broader relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency, which has been the primary funding source for the company's federal awards. The contractor currently maintains three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the DLA's Land and Maritime division, each valued at $250,000 with one-year performance periods extending through late 2026, procuring specialized metallic tubing components under various set-aside designations. All manufacturing and fulfillment occurs at the company's Fort Worth facility, ensuring consistent quality and timely delivery of military-specification components to DLA distribution centers.
