Line-Haul Railroads

The NAICS Category 482111 for Line-Haul Railroads encompasses transportation services provided by railroad companies operating long-distance freight or passenger transportation routes. These services include rail transportation, railway infrastructure maintenance, engineering services, flagging operations, and related logistical support for government and civilian projects. Line-haul railroad services involve the movement of goods or passengers across extended geographic regions using rail networks and associated infrastructure.

The federal contract awards demonstrate a diverse range of railroad-related services, with contract values typically ranging from $8,000 to $2,318,097 and performance periods spanning several months to multiple years. Key awardees include Union Pacific Railroad Company, BNSF Railway Company, Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway Company, and Korea Railroad Corporation. Funding agencies frequently include the U.S. Army (particularly the Army Corps of Engineers and Pacific Command), Department of Transportation, and Department of the Air Force. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders, and none utilized specific small business set-aside designations. Performance locations span domestic and international contexts, including projects in Ohio, Washington, Florida, and South Korea.

The sole federal contract opportunity is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the United States Air Force's 51st Civil Engineer Squadron at Osan Air Base in Korea. The RFI seeks potential sources for routine railway inspection services and repair guidance for a 1.81-mile railway system connecting Songtan Station and Osan Air Base. The procurement focuses on identifying vendors with expertise in inspecting a 1952-constructed railway according to specific Korean railway standards. Contractors must provide comprehensive documentation of the railway's condition, potential repair needs, and compliance with local construction and maintenance regulations.
