Silver / Cims, LLC

Silver / Cims, LLC, a for-profit limited liability partnership based in Taylor Lake Village, Texas, delivers military certification, testing, and inspection services to the Department of the Navy and the Department of the Army as a small business prime contractor under indefinite delivery contracts and blanket purchase agreements. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime across its federal footprint (100% of awards) and competes under total small business set-asides on its core indefinite delivery vehicle with the Naval Air Warfare Center.

Silver / Cims' capability portfolio centers on plan review services and certification testing for mobile habitable shelters and containers in compliance with International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC) standards, along with subordinate technical testing and inspection work. The vendor's recent work consists almost entirely of small-dollar delivery orders under standing IDCs. Representative awards include a $11,825 delivery order from the Naval Air Warfare Center in May 2025 for ten plan reviews under a total small business set-aside, a $6,642 delivery order in June 2023 for six plan reviews supporting naval aviation test and evaluation, and a $5,700 delivery order in May 2024 for five plan reviews under the same parent IDC. The vendor also holds a $750 thousand Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Army Research Development and Engineering Command for container inspection services.

Customer concentration is acute. The Department of the Navy Naval Air Warfare Center accounts for 24 awards and $920 thousand of the $1.7 million combined potential value across the vendor's entire federal footprint. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command holds 2 awards valued at $785 thousand combined. The Navy-Army split tracks identically in both award count and dollar rankings, with Navy representing roughly 54% of potential value and Army roughly 46%.

Silver / Cims holds two primary indefinite delivery vehicles. The Naval Air Warfare Center's Indefinite Delivery Contract N6833520D0012, a total small business set-aside awarded January 15, 2020 and running through January 14, 2025, carried 19 task orders and $124 thousand in combined potential value before its expiration. A successor single-award IDC (N6833525D0017), valued at $475,896 through May 14, 2030, was awarded May 15, 2025 and has already generated 3 task orders totaling $21 thousand. Activity has remained flat at three to four awards per year over the past five years, with combined dollars obligated at $181 thousand representing 11% of combined potential value — a characteristic posture for small-business plan review services on standing contracts. The vendor's most recent award, a $4,730 delivery order from the Naval Air Warfare Center in March 2026 for four plan reviews, carries an April 2026 completion date.
