# Marine Forces Reserve seeks small-business Maven field support An updated sources-sought notice changes the set-aside from HUBZone to total small business and extends the response date to Oct. 30. Published 2026-10-23 by TGOs. Canonical: https://tgos.io/news/2026/10/23/marine-forces-reserve-seeks-small-business-maven-field-support/ Marine Forces Reserve is seeking a Maven field service representative through a sources-sought notice from its Regional Contracting Office in New Orleans.[1] The Oct. 22 update changed the notice's set-aside from HUBZone to total small business.[1] Responses are due at noon Central on Oct. 30, replacing the original Oct. 26 response date.[1] Respondents are asked to provide a rough order of magnitude estimate and a capabilities statement.[1] The notice lists New Orleans as the place of performance and refers to an attached performance work statement for details.[1] The search follows an Oct. 16 Marine Corps message adding Marine Forces Reserve Command to the units covered by its Maven Smart System enterprise license.[2] The message says that, effective Oct. 1, the Marine Corps is licensed for unlimited access across all applicable networks for all commands and organizations.[2] It addresses field service representative support through a separate addendum.[2] ## Why it matters The revised notice opens the sources-sought effort to small businesses beyond the HUBZone category.[1] It identifies demand for Maven field support at a command newly included in the enterprise license, although the posted description does not explicitly connect the two developments.[1][2] ## Sources 1.
