What Latin American Services does

Latin American Services, Inc. (LAS) is a privately held, Minority-Owned, Woman-Owned Business Enterprise founded in June 2000 and headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The company provides janitorial, environmental services (EVS), and facility maintenance to federal government, healthcare, commercial, and industrial clients across the DC, Maryland, and Virginia region. Named federal customers include the U.S. Department of the Army, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, U.S. Army Medical Command, Department of the Navy, and the Department of Defense; healthcare and commercial segments include hospitals, clinics, laboratories, educational facilities, religious institutions, and office campuses.

The company's service portfolio spans core janitorial offerings (floor care, carpet cleaning, restroom sanitation, window and exterior cleaning, marble/stone/metal surface restoration, and emergency/disaster recovery) alongside specialized offerings (hospital housekeeping, government facility janitorial, medical waste disposal, computer room cleaning, construction cleanup, escalator cleaning, upholstery cleaning, pressure washing, recycling, and supply/inventory management). Underlying operational technology is service-process oriented rather than software-based: Green Seal Certified biodegradable cleaning products, EPA DFE-registered agents, Clean Check Certified staff training, and color-coded cleaning equipment for cross-contamination control. The company also provides project-level services such as LEED compliance, renewable and building energy solutions, unionized contract transitions, and military base operations support.

LAS operates a direct field sales model with quote-based, customized pricing per facility scope and frequency, supported by industry association memberships (ISSA, BSCAI, IEHA, IFMA, ARCSI) for credibility and procurement access. No digital channels, mobile app, or API are disclosed. The company holds MBE certification, which provides preferential access to federal set-aside contracts, and offers 24/7 emergency response across its service area.
