Virtual Assistant

About Attendants LLC

Attendants LLC is a Nashville-based, SBE-certified construction management and facility services company serving federal, state, local, and commercial clients. We work as both prime and subcontractor on projects ranging from high-rise construction cleaning and Division 9 & 10 trades to federal janitorial and facility maintenance contracts. Our clients and partners include some of the nation's top general contractors and federal agencies.

We're a growing small business competing — and winning — in the government contracting space. We need a sharp, organized, self-driven Virtual Assistant to help us pursue and win more contracts.

The Role

You'll be the engine behind our bid pipeline. Your job is to keep opportunities flowing, subcontractors engaged, and nothing falling through the cracks. This is a real-impact role: the work you do directly determines whether we win contracts.

What You'll Do

Opportunity & Lead Generation

Monitor SAM.gov, state/local procurement portals, and GC bid boards daily for opportunities matching our NAICS codes and capabilities

Screen solicitations for fit (set-asides, scope, location, bonding requirements) and flag the best ones with a short summary

Track amendments, Q&A deadlines, site visit dates, and proposal due dates

Subcontractor Outreach

Call and email subcontractors to solicit quotes for active bids

Distribute redacted solicitation packages, collect pricing, and follow up until quotes are in hand

Maintain and grow our subcontractor database by trade and region

Ensure all outreach follows our non-circumvention and all-inclusive pricing requirements

Communication with Contracting Officers & GCs

Draft and send professional emails to contracting officers (RFIs, clarification questions, status inquiries, post-award follow-ups)

Follow up on submitted bids, stalled contract executions, and pending awards

Coordinate with general contractor estimating teams on subcontract opportunities

Organization & Admin

Build and maintain spreadsheets: bid trackers, pricing comparisons, subcontractor logs, pipeline reports

Keep proposal files, certifications, and past performance documents organized and ready

Prepare bid calendars and weekly pipeline summaries for the Principal

Assist with proposal assembly: formatting, forms, compliance checklists

Who You Are

Excellent phone presence — comfortable making cold and warm calls to subcontractors and government offices

Strong written communication; you can draft a professional email to a federal contracting officer without hand-holding

Highly organized with strong Excel/Google Sheets skills (formulas, sorting, clean formatting)

Self-managing: you follow up relentlessly without being reminded

Familiarity with SAM.gov, government solicitations, or construction bidding is a strong plus (we'll train the right person)

Nice to Have

Experience with GovCon terms: RFQ, RFP, IDIQ, set-asides, LPTA, sources sought

Construction or facility services industry background

CRM or pipeline tool experience
