Purchase Order SPE8E926V0494

The Defense Logistics Agency's Construction and Equipment division awarded a $6,243.38 firm fixed-price purchase order for metal bars to Rudy & Associates, a Fort Worth, Texas-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA-certified HUBZone firm. The contract was awarded on December 16, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of February 17, 2026, and will be performed at the contractor's facility in Kennedale, Texas. This purchase order does not utilize a set-aside designation and represents a continuation of the Defense Logistics Agency's relationship with Rudy & Associates, which has maintained federal contractor registration since 2002 and specializes in manufacturing military-specification metal products and components.

Rudy & Associates holds three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) valued at $250,000 each with the DLA's Land and Maritime division, awarded between September and October 2025, covering the supply of specialized metallic tubing components under various set-aside designations. The company's extensive portfolio with the Defense Logistics Agency demonstrates its established capability as a consistent supplier of metallic materials, including metal bars, sheets, plates, tubes, and aviation-grade aluminum parts that support military supply chain operations. This purchase order for metal bars aligns with the contractor's core manufacturing competencies and the DLA's commitment to leveraging qualified small business vendors for defense procurement requirements.
