It is asking potential bidders to submit their offers by Nov. 1.
If there is more than one qualified bidder, Catalyst says it will hold an auction.
The company announced in July that it would permanently close the Snowflake recycle mill in northeastern Arizona and its subsidiary, the Apache Railway Company.
The move will put 308 workers out of a job after production at the operations shuts down on Sept. 30.
The company cited flagging demand for newsprint, price volatility and higher freight costs as reasons for the closure.
