Guacolda Zinsmeyer, 100% sole member-owner of Emerald Cleaning LLC

A Real Woman-Owned Business — Not a Pass-Through

Emerald Cleaning LLC (DBA Emerald City Cleaning) was founded in 2013 (Guacolda has cleaned Seattle since 2003). Guacolda Zinsmeyer is the 100% sole member-owner — the operating agreement, the bank signatory cards, the OMWBE certification, and the strategic direction of the company all point to the same person.

Your procurement-compliance team can verify everything: WA OMWBE certificate M5F0024884 is searchable at omwbe.wa.gov. City of Seattle and City of Bellevue business licenses on file. Insurance on file. References on file with permission.

If your diversity-spend program requires Tier-1 reporting, our state OMWBE typically counts directly. If it requires federal SBA WOSB or NMSDC certification, our OMWBE supports Tier-2 reporting and we can submit any additional documentation your procurement team needs.

Who This Is For

If you're under a diversity-spend mandate, an ESG reporting requirement, or a public-sector procurement rule, our OMWBE certification gives your team a verified diverse vendor in commercial cleaning.

Corporate Diversity-Spend Programs

Tier-1 supplier diversity teams at Seattle-area corporates (tech, healthcare, banking, retail) with annual diverse-spend targets and reporting obligations.

Tier-2 Supplier Diversity

If your primes report Tier-2 diverse spend back to their customers, we are a documented WBE second-tier subcontract option.

Washington State Agencies

State, county, and city procurement with diversity-aware scoring. Registered in WEBS. OMWBE-preferenced on solicitations that include diversity criteria.

Port of Seattle / Public Authorities

Port-controlled facilities, transit, public-authority buildings with explicit diverse-spend goals and preference scoring.

Institutional Building Owners

REITs and institutional asset managers with ESG reporting obligations — diverse-vendor selection is a documented S-factor in ESG.

GCs & Primes Bidding Public Work

If you're bidding public construction with diverse-subcontractor utilization goals, we are an eligible OMWBE final-clean subcontractor.

Procurement & Diversity-Spend FAQ

What's your OMWBE certification status and number?

Washington State OMWBE Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) — certificate number M5F0024884. Verifiable at omwbe.wa.gov. Legal entity: Emerald Cleaning LLC. Owner: Guacolda Zinsmeyer, 100% sole member.

Does your certification qualify us for Tier-1 or Tier-2 diversity reporting?

Tier-1: yes for any program that accepts state-level WBE certifications (most do). Tier-2: yes through your diverse second-tier suppliers framework. Many Washington-area corporates and all WA state/local agencies recognize OMWBE directly.

Do you respond to public-sector RFPs?

Yes. Registered in WEBS. We respond to WA state, City of Seattle, King County, and Port of Seattle solicitations. Federal SAM.gov on invited opportunities.

What's in your procurement-onboarding packet?

W-9, COI sample, OMWBE certificate, Seattle + Bellevue business licenses, EPA Safer Choice docs, ISSA CIMS credentials, BBB profile, W-2 employee verification, background-check policy summary, SDS catalog, references with permission. Anything missing for your specific portal we can produce in 5-7 business days. Additional city business licenses added on contract award.

Are you a real woman-owned operating business?

Yes. Founded 2013. Guacolda Zinsmeyer is the 100% sole member-owner — operating agreement, OMWBE cert, bank signatory, strategic decisions, and senior management all confirm the same single owner. Not a pass-through, not a front company.

Can you scale for large contracts?

Yes within Seattle / Eastside / King County. 14-30 day onboarding for large new accounts. We do NOT chase multi-state national contracts — if you need national footprint we are not the right vendor.

What's your service scope?

Commercial janitorial is core. Also: post-construction final clean (commercial + residential), commercial kitchen deep clean, event cleaning. Public-sector RFPs typically scope janitorial; other services attach as line items or alternates.

Why pick a certified diverse local vendor over a national chain?

(1) Verifiable WBE — OMWBE M5F0024884. (2) 20+ years local ownership. (3) W-2 employees only, no subcontracting. (4) ESG-compatible: EPA Safer Choice + ISSA CIMS — meaningful data for institutional reporting beyond just diversity spend.
