Purchase Order SPE8E926V0447

The Defense Logistics Agency's Construction and Equipment division awarded a $2,222.20 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates for metal foil components on December 5, 2025. The prime contractor, Rudy III, Ernest (doing business as Rudy & Associates), is a Fort Worth, Texas-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm that has maintained federal contractor registration since 2002. This award was not designated as a set-aside, though Rudy & Associates frequently receives set-aside designations on other awards due to its qualified small business status. The contract is structured as a standard purchase order with a firm fixed price and an ultimate completion date of March 25, 2026, with performance to occur at the contractor's facility in Kenledale, Texas.

Rudy & Associates specializes in manufacturing military-specification metal products and components for the Department of Defense, including metallic tubing, sheets, plates, structural angles, and aviation-grade aluminum parts that meet stringent defense procurement standards. The company currently maintains three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division, each valued at $250,000, which enable the agency to issue simplified delivery orders for specialized metallic components supporting military supply chain operations. This purchase order aligns with the contractor's established expertise and serves the DLA's broader mission of ensuring reliable procurement of military-specification materials for defense logistics operations globally.
