Differentiators
- 01
The custody record is the deliverable
Every transfer is signed and timestamped against a numbered tamper-evident seal, and the Certificate of Destruction is generated from those entries. If a seal number does not reconcile, no certificate issues.
- 02
Exceptions are written into the record, not out of it
A miscounted seal, a late arrival, a discrepancy at intake — each is logged, closed by a second operator, and retained. An audit trail that only ever shows clean runs is not an audit trail.
- 03
Serial-level accounting for media
Drives and tapes are recorded individually, so a device that disappears from an agency inventory can be matched to a specific certificate rather than a weight ticket.
- 04
Witnessed destruction at no extra charge
On site at your dock or at the plant. Agencies destroying evidence or criminal justice information usually have to pay a premium for this. We do not charge one.
Classification codes
| Type | Code | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| NAICS | 561990 | All Other Support Services | Primary. Size standard $16.5M — small business. |
| PSC | R614 | Support — Administrative: Paper Shredding | The product service code agencies solicit destruction under. |
Two codes, both accurate. Additional NAICS codes will be added at SAM.gov registration; they are not listed here in advance, because a code list a contracting officer cannot verify devalues the ones that are real.
Past performance
None.
Silverback has not performed a contract, government or commercial. There are no references, no CPARS record, and no past-performance questionnaires to send you. Every capability statement you receive from a new entrant has this problem; most handle it by leaving the section out.
What we can offer instead is a subcontract or teaming arrangement under a prime with the record, a first job priced as a trial with the certificate reviewed before any recurring commitment, and full transparency on the compliance work still outstanding. That work is listed line by line on the compliance page.

FBI CJIS Security Policy
Any private contractor providing records management, ITAD, or IT support to a criminal justice agency falls inside the policy. Criminal justice information includes fingerprint and biometric data, criminal history and identity history records, stolen property records, wanted and missing person data, and NICS data.
The consequences of getting this wrong are not commercial. They run to suspension of NCIC, NICS, and NGI access, loss of federal grant funding, and criminal exposure for unauthorized disclosure.
One correction worth making, because most vendor sites in this industry get it wrong: the CJIS Security Policy does not reference NIST SP 800-88 anywhere. MP-6 sets its own requirements, listed opposite. We build to SP 800-88 Rev. 2 as our own sanitization framework — that is our choice of method, not a CJIS mandate, and we will not present it as one.
§5.8 Media Protection — control MP-6
- Digital media sanitized or destroyed before disposal, release out of agency control, or reuse — by overwriting at least three times, or by degaussing
- Inoperable digital media destroyed rather than sanitized
- Non-digital media destroyed by crosscut shredding or incineration
- Destruction witnessed, or carried out only by authorized personnel
- Chain of custody and a certificate naming the method used
Personnel security — §5.12 / control PS-3
Every individual with access to CJI-bearing media must be screened before that access is granted, and the screening has to be on record with the agency. Silverback has no employees yet, so there is nothing to screen and nothing to represent. The screening requirement is written into the hiring process ahead of the first hire rather than added afterwards.
We also hold no facility clearance and do not handle classified material. An FCL cannot be self-applied for — DCSA requires sponsorship by a government contracting activity or a cleared prime against a real procurement — so no page here will imply one.
