Lata-Cti Environmental Services LLC

Lata-Cti Environmental Services LLC, a small business joint venture based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, operates as a prime contractor delivering environmental remediation, hazardous waste removal, and site closure services to the Department of the Air Force and the Department of the Army. The vendor is a child entity of LOS Alamos Technical Associates, Inc., a women-owned small business, and competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides across the majority of its portfolio (roughly 60% of awards carry the designation).

Lata-Cti's capability portfolio centers on PFAS treatment system operations and maintenance, vapor intrusion assessment and mitigation, soil and groundwater remediation, well decommissioning, and long-term site management at former military installations undergoing environmental restoration under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP) and Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) statutes. Representative work includes a $15.019 million Total Small Business delivery order awarded by the Air Force Civil Engineer Center in September 2022 for PFAS treatment system operations and maintenance at Wurtsmith Air Force Base in Michigan (ultimate completion September 2027); a $6.214 million Total Small Business delivery order issued in September 2024 for recurring severable operations and maintenance at multiple Wurtsmith sites through September 2027; and a $1.840 million Total Small Business delivery order issued in June 2026 for PFAS treatment system operations and maintenance at the Alert Aircraft Area interim remedial action site at Former Wurtsmith Air Force Base, Michigan, with performance through December 2028. Lata-Cti also holds a $60 million multiple-award IDIQ with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for small business environmental remediation services, awarded in July 2022 under Total Small Business set-aside, supporting hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste remediation projects within EPA Region 2 and the USACE Northwestern Division through August 2027.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Air Force Civil Engineer Center accounts for 19 awards (combined potential value $49.8 million, 29% of portfolio) issued under the Base Support for Midwest BECOS IDIQ (FA8903-20-D-0004), while the Army Corps of Engineers and Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service together anchor $120 million in potential value through two IDIQ vehicles. All 22 awards in the source are prime awards; Lata-Cti does not appear in the sub portfolio. The vendor subcontracts portions of performance to minority-owned and women-owned environmental firms — CTI And Associates, Inc. (a minority-owned small business) and LOS Alamos Technical Associates, Inc. (its own parent company, a women-owned small business) appear on multiple delivery orders for soil vapor intrusion, groundwater monitoring, and PFAS treatment support.

Activity has declined from a peak of seven awards in 2022 to two in 2025 and two in 2026 (most recent in June 2026), with nine awards (combined potential value $23.4 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete. SCI-reported invoicing covers only FY2023, when the vendor reported $2.2 million across a single contract at a blended derived rate of $182.90 per hour; SCI data capture does not reflect the vendor's full federal service-contract revenue, as the dataset excludes goods contracts, classified work, and contracts below the $150,000 reporting threshold. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, an average 50% of contractor hours were subcontracted to named partners.
