The contract applies to any subcontractor performing drilling activities in proximity to Amtrak’s electrified infrastructure and requires documentation of methods, materials, and testing procedures that meet or exceed established technical specifications. This subcontract opportunity is open for responses until July 1, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 238210 for electrical contractors. It is issued directly by Amtrak with no set-aside provisions, and performance will occur at unspecified locations along Amtrak’s rail network where catenary wires are present.
