Mentor Protégé Program
The Mentor-Protégé Program was established under Public Law 101-510, Section 831, and the National Defense Authorization Act of 1991. The program has three goals:
- Provide incentives to major contractors, performing under at least one active approved subcontracting plan negotiated with Department of Defense or other federal agency, to assist SDBs, Hubzone, SDVOSBs, and qualified organizations that employ the severely disabled and women-owned small businesses in enhancing their capabilities to satisfy DoD and other contract and subcontract requirements.
- Increase the participation of SDBs, HUBZone, SDVOSBs, WOSBs and other qualified organizations that employ the severely disabled as subcontractors and suppliers under DoD, federal agency and commercial contracts.
- Foster the establishment of long-term business relationships between SDBs, HUBZone, SDVOSBs, WOSBs and other qualified organizations that employ the severely disabled and such contractors.
