Procurement is pleased to announce a new Preferred Vendor contract for document shredding services with Iron Mountain Inc. This contract was awarded as a result of a formal Invitation to Bid. Features of the new contract include:

  • Reduction in pricing
  • Increased reporting capabilities
  • Improved services

How to Enroll

  • Complete the Iron Mountain enrollment form
  • For pricing information, reference the Iron Mountain pricing information document.
  • Each department/unit will receive a monthly invoice to pay either with Direct Payment Request or Corporate Card. Blanket purchase orders are discouraged due to high number of small dollar invoices that cause match exceptions.
    • If you select to use the Corporate Card to pay your monthly invoice, please follow the instruction on the PDF guide to enroll in online payment.

Transition

If you currently have a Shred-It bin, it will be removed over a 2-3 week period, starting May 2, 2019. Iron Mountain will place their bins during that week. Please note, Shred-It will only remove empty bins starting May 2, 2019, please do not leave materials in their containers.

A detailed schedule of removal can be found on this document.

If you have a bin from another vendor, you will need to enroll with Iron Mountain and make arrangements for your current vendor to remove their bins the week of May 2, 2019.
