Scrap Metal Processing and Recycling

Amtrak is soliciting proposals for the processing and recycling of scrap rail and other metals removed from its property, under a subcontract arrangement. The work involves the removal, handling, and environmentally compliant recycling of scrap metal materials, primarily rail components, after their decommissioning from Amtrak’s infrastructure. The contract opportunity was posted on July 15, 2026, with a response deadline of August 5, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 331222, which categorizes it within the secondary smelting and alloying of aluminum and nonferrous metal industry. Performance will occur at locations associated with Amtrak’s rail operations, though specific geographic details are not provided. Interested parties must meet the technical and regulatory requirements for metal recycling, including proper handling of hazardous materials and adherence to environmental standards. Proposals should demonstrate experience in large-scale scrap metal processing and a capacity to manage logistics efficiently across multiple sites. The procurement is conducted through Amtrak’s internal procurement portal, and bidders are expected to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations governing waste management and industrial recycling.
