The Office of Personnel Management Retirement Operations Center operates under dedicated ZIP code 16017 in Butler County, Pennsylvania. Since 1960, OPM has processed federal employee retirements from this secure underground facility in a former limestone mine near Boyers, about an hour north of Pittsburgh. Approximately 600 federal employees work 230 feet underground, managing over 400 million individual personnel records stored in 26,000 file cabinets.
The facility was established during the Cold War era, chosen for its natural protection from aerial bombardment and electromagnetic pulse attacks. U.S. Steel began mining limestone here in 1902, and by 1954 the abandoned caverns were being leased for secure document storage. Iron Mountain merged with the longtime facility owner in 1998 and continues to manage the underground complex. This dedicated postal designation has served OPM for over two decades, with Boyers as the valid mailing city for correspondence to the retirement processing center.
