Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • IRM has begun a $140M digital project for the U.S. Treasury using its intelligent digitization platform.
  • IRM plans to bid on a five-year Treasury contract that could consolidate the current April-awarded project.
  • New U.S. government digitization deals showcase IRM's execution strength and support future growth.

Iron Mountain (IRM - Free Report) recently updated that it has commenced working on a digital transformation project for the U.S. Department of Treasury. Per the first-quarter 2025 Investor Presentation, the contract under consideration was awarded to the company in late April 2025, with a total value amounting to around $140 million.

Iron Mountain is actively curating to the requirements of the project through its proprietary intelligent digitization solution, given its time-critical nature. The company is receiving compensation for the same, but this benefit is not included in its 2025 financial guidance.

The company further highlighted that earlier this week, the U.S. Department of Treasury came out with a Request for Quotations (“RFQ”) for another new digitization project with a long-time horizon of five years and an expanded scope of work.

Iron Mountain is keen to participate in the above larger and longer duration contract. Given its experience of successful completion of a number of such digital transformation projects for the U.S. Government, along with the current ongoing one, Iron Mountain feels confident that it will be able to deliver to the U.S. Government a superior end-to-end solution that can fully support this efficiency initiative.

Iron Mountain is in the process of responding to the RFQ and anticipates submitting the same before the government’s deadline of July 11, 2025. If this contract is awarded to Iron Mountain, it will simultaneously incorporate the ongoing April contract.

IRM: In a Nutshell

The above digitization contracts for the U.S. Government awarded to Iron Mountain exemplify the efficiency and quality work that the company is delivering, which will aid revenue growth and shareholders’ wealth creation.

Iron Mountain is a global market leader in the core storage and records management business, both physical and digital. The company serves more than 240,000 clients across different industries and geographical locations.

Iron Mountain’s Project Matterhorn has helped it shift from a product-based to a solution-based sales approach to better serve its customers’ needs, aiding significant growth in digital solutions, data center and asset lifecycle management businesses.
