Purchase Order SPE8E926V0495

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), through its Construction and Equipment division, awarded a $12.6K firm fixed-price purchase order to Rudy & Associates for the manufacture of metal plates. The contract, issued December 16, 2025, with a completion date of February 17, 2026, was awarded to Rudy III, Ernest, a Fort Worth, Texas-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA-certified HUBZone firm. Performance will occur at the contractor's facility in Kendale, TX. No set-aside designation was applied to this particular purchase order, though Rudy & Associates maintains an established track record with the DLA through multiple contract vehicles designated as small business set-asides and SDVOSB set-asides.

Rudy & Associates specializes in manufacturing military-specification metallic components and has maintained federal contractor registration since 2002. The company currently holds three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the DLA Land and Maritime division, each valued at $250K with performance periods extending through late 2026, under which the contractor supplies specialized metallic tubes for military supply chain operations. This purchase order for metal plates aligns with the contractor's core competency in producing defense-grade metallic products and components that meet stringent procurement standards for distribution to DLA depots throughout the Continental and Overseas Continental United States.
