Amtrak understands the value and benefits that result from partnering with a diverse array of suppliers of goods and services.  Amtrak is committed to ensuring that Small Business concerns (SB), as defined by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs), defined by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) in accordance with Title 49 C.F.R. Part 26, and other diverse firms are given full and equal consideration in Amtrak's procurement opportunities.

Look us over by visiting the website’s tabs and links.  We encourage prime contractors to source the DOT’s DBE databases to provide subcontract opportunities.  And we encourage the Diverse Business Community to register with, your State’s Department of Transportation as a DBE, the U.S. Small Business Administration’s System for Award Management (SAM) formerly the Central Contracting Registry (CCR), the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC), the Women Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) or if you have prior active military service and are now a Veteran or Service-disabled business-owner (VOB), the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs.  Once registered with one of the above, and to further increase your exposure to Amtrak’s Contracting Agents, complete the Business Profile Form below to be included in the Amtrak Diverse Vendor Directory.
