Can a $6k loss on a purchased welding machine/asset be used as a deduction on the 2022 taxes?

Client purchased asset to be built to specifications. Vendor filed for bankruptcy. Asset not received and ruled a loss by the court.

The vendor defaulted on the contract to deliver the machine.  If the T&C's call for the money to be refunded but it has been established that no money was to be returned as a result of bankruptcy, that sounds like a business bad debt to me.
