Our History

Founded in New Mexico in 1976, Los Alamos Technical Associates provides technical and project management services to a varied clientele including federal agencies, state governments, municipalities, and a broad range of private sector industrial clients. In the 1970s, the company’s core business focused on the design, installation and operation of highly specialized systems and processes for Special Nuclear Materials handling. LATA then expanded throughout the 1980s into communication systems design and test for defense applications, and in the early 1990s into the environmental services arena, performing some of the most challenging Superfund site remediation efforts in the country as well as some of the most challenging site and facility closure projects in the nation’s Nuclear Weapons Complex.

Today, LATA's employees serve a diverse clientele ranging from the Departments of Energy, State and Defense, to such Fortune 100 companies as Goodyear, Total Petrochemical, Ford and Monsanto. Our services include facility operations and maintenance, environmental remediation, facility decommissioning and demolition, industrial and nuclear safety services, instrumentation and control systems design and installation, security systems design and installation, counter-proliferation and export control, and information technology solutions.

LATA has served its federal government clients in 13 states and 35 countries over the past three years alone. The company’s sophisticated business and project management systems, its diverse talent base, its record of safe, in-budget and on-time project performance, and its mature programs for quality management and environment, health, and safety, have led to the award and successful execution of large and complex contracts unusual for companies of LATA’s size. Small Business Qualification: LATA qualifies as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (size standard 500 employees) under NAICS 562910 (Environmental Remediation), 541710 (Research & Development), 334513 (Controls Systems Manufacturing), and 335314 (Special Purpose Controls).
