Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7MX21D0037

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division has awarded a series of firm fixed-price delivery order contracts to Rudy III, Ernest, doing business as Rudy & Associates, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA Certified HUBZone firm. These contracts, issued under IDV contract SPE7MX21D0037, are for the supply of a variety of metallic tubes and related specialized metal products to support the logistics and equipment needs of the U.S. Department of Defense. Rudy & Associates has significant expertise in providing hard-to-find exotic grades and sizes of metal components that meet stringent military specifications. The task orders awarded range from approximately $11,000 to $50,000 in ceiling value, with periods of performance generally extending 1-2 years. While none of the specific task orders are set aside, Rudy & Associates frequently wins small business, HUBZone, and SDVOSB set-aside contracts with the DLA due to its specialized capabilities. The majority of the performance takes place at Rudy & Associates' facilities in Texas.

The IDV contract and associated task orders aim to establish a reliable supply of critical metallic components, including aviation-grade aluminum, alloy plates, titanium sheets, stainless steel bars, and various tubing and structural shapes. These supplies are used across multiple military branches and applications, supporting the DLA's role in providing logistics and equipment support to the U.S. armed forces. The long-term nature of the IDV contract allows the DLA to efficiently maintain stock levels at its warehouses and deliver these specialized metal products as needed to sustain defense operations.
