There are many components that define Supplier Diversity, but at Amtrak we believe there is ultimately one main goal – to treat all firms fairly no matter their size, ownership or make-up. Simply put, our Diversity philosophy means commitment to ensuring our company embraces a culture of respect and appreciation for differences and similarities of peoples.  

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) in accordance to 13 C.F.R. Part 121, Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs), defined by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) in accordance with 49 C.F.R. Part 26, and other diverse firms are given full and equal consideration in Amtrak's procurement opportunities in accordance with 2 C.F.R. 200.321.

Please visit the website's tabs and links to find out more. We encourage prime contractors to search the DOT's DBE databases to provide subcontract opportunities to certified diverse firms. 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) and the dynamic small business search (SBA), 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.
