Mentor Protégé Program Benefits  Encourage and Motivate Small Business Growth  Enhance Protégé Capabilities & Capacity  Foster Long-Term Relationships  Increase Access to Small Business  Increase Opportunity to Existing Small Business Schedule Holders to increase work 14

Why Mentor a Small Business Allows for teaming opportunities with the Protégé firms to win new contracts and opportunities Benefit of learning from the Protégés about new and innovative products and services Assistance in fulfilling subcontracting plan (Prime contractors’ subcontracting plans containing Mentor-Protégé Agreements can be evaluated more favorably than subcontracting plans without Mentor-Protégé Agreements) 15

Benefits From GSA for Mentors Evaluation factor credit on GSA opportunities Eligible for an annual non-monetary award presented to the Mentor firm providing the most effective developmental support to a Protégé Being recognized as a “corporate mentor” within the GSA procurement system and capable of using this as a marketing tool with Contracting Officers 16

Program Details GSA DOES NOT MATCH - Mentors and protégés must select each other for the program Mentors are permitted to have more than one Protégé in the Program at one time (A separate Mentor-Protégé Agreement must be submitted for each Mentor-Protégé relationship) Protégés are allowed to only have one Mentor while in the Program at a time The GSA Mentor-Protégé Program is a non-credit, non-reimbursable program GSA will not provide the Mentor firm with monetary reimbursement for the cost of developmental assistance incurred supporting the Protégé firm 20

Application Requirements All Mentor-Protégé Applications must contain the following to be considered for approval:  A signed Mentor-Protégé Application (GSA Form 3695)  A signed Mentor-Protégé Agreement  Protégé Needs Assessment performed by the Mentor Firm (recommended) Applications will be evaluated for approval by the Mentor- Protégé Program Manager based on the extent to which the Mentor plans to provide developmental assistance to the Protégé 21
