Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. announced that it has been awarded a deliverables‑based IT services contract by the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR). The contract, designated DIR‑CPO‑6161, will enable Kyndryl to provide managed IT services—including cybersecurity, cloud, applications, data and AI solutions—to state and local government agencies across Texas.
The agreement is part of DIR’s Cooperative Contracts Program, which streamlines procurement for public‑sector organizations by offering pre‑negotiated terms. Kyndryl will assess existing environments, identify modernization priorities and implement multi‑phase transformation initiatives, leveraging its expertise in mission‑critical infrastructure and responsible AI adoption. The scope covers a broad range of services that are critical to modernizing legacy systems and enhancing the security posture of Texas agencies.
This win is a key milestone in Kyndryl’s transformation toward higher‑margin consulting and managed services. In FY2025, the company reported $15.1 billion in revenue, a 4% decline in constant currency, but achieved a 16.7% adjusted EBITDA margin of $2.52 billion, up from 14.7% the previous year. Record signings of $18.2 billion in FY2025 and a guidance of at least $725 million in adjusted pretax income for FY2026 underscore the company’s focus on high‑margin engagements such as this Texas contract.
The public‑sector market has become a strategic growth engine for Kyndryl. The company’s website highlights projects that modernize infrastructure for schools, universities and state motor‑vehicle divisions, and the DIR contract adds a substantial new revenue stream that will reinforce the company’s public‑sector presence. By securing a multi‑phase, deliverables‑based engagement, Kyndryl positions itself to capture a larger share of the Texas market and to demonstrate its ability to deliver complex, AI‑driven modernization programs at scale.
Overall, the DIR contract strengthens Kyndryl’s portfolio of high‑margin managed services, supports its broader transformation toward AI‑driven solutions, and expands its footprint in a key public‑sector market that aligns with the company’s growth strategy.
