DoD Mentor Prot?g? Program

The Department's Mentor-Prot?g? Pilot Program was established November 5, 1990 (Public Law 101-510) in an effort to respond to concerns, raised by DoD prime contractors, that many SDBs did not possess the technical capabilities to perform DoD subcontract requirements making it difficult for these prime contractors to achieve their SDB subcontracting goals. Current Status:

? Reauthorized November 25, 2015 via National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) 2016

? Direct reimbursement of costs and credit towards subcontracting goals may be incurred through September 30, 2018 *

* IAW Public Law 114-92, Section 861, subsection (j)(2)

How is Program Success Measured

DOD OSBP MPP Metrics:

? An increase in the dollar value of contract and subcontract awards, and revenue to prot?g?

firms (under DoD contracts, contracts awarded by other Federal/Non-Federal agencies

and commercial contracts) from the date of DOD Mentor-Prot?g? Agreement (MPA) execution until 2-years after conclusion of the MPA ? An increase in the number and dollar value of sub-contracts awarded to Prot?g? firms (and former Prot?g? firms) by the Mentor firm ? An increase in the employment levels of Prot?g? firms from the date of MPA execution until 2-years after MPA completion ? The number of potential innovative technologies transferred into DoD Programs of Record

Key Factors for an MPP Agreement

? Establish a quality relationship between the Mentor and Prot?g?. - "It's like marriage, you have to date prior to getting married." - Recommended timeframe is 12-18 months before applying for the MPP.

? Identify mutual benefits for the Mentor and the Prot?g? prior to selecting a candidate.

? Ensure goals and priorities for both companies are aligned prior to the agreement. ? Ensure the Mentor and Prot?g? company leadership is committed to the program. ? Ensure there is strong communication between the Mentor, Prot?g?, and

the Agency PM.

Mentor-Prot?g? Program ? Prot?g?s Contribution to the DoD Industrial Base

? Since 2013 current and former MPP prot?g?s have contributed nearly $16 billion of work to the DoD industrial base

? This averages out to over $3 billion a year ? In FY 2017 alone, there were over 350 former MPP prot?g?s on prime contracts for the DoD
