Mentor applications can be submitted at any time during the year with or without a Mentor-Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Agreement (MPA). In accordance with NFS 1819.72, a Mentor must be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>A large prime contractor performing under a NASA contract with at least one approved Federal subcontracting plan, as required by FAR 19.7 (the Small Business Subcontracting Program), and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eligible for the receipt of Government contracts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prot\u00e9g\u00e9s<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To participate as a Prot\u00e9g\u00e9, an entity must meet one of the eligibility requirements as defined in NFS 1819.72 and must maintain that status for the life of the agreement. If the Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 self-certifies that it meets the eligibility requirements, a separate written self-certification of its small business status must be provided with the MPA. (Note: If Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 eligibility expires prior to the end of the agreement period, the agreement may still be approved for the remaining duration of the POP but must include the condition that any credit received is subject to the Prot\u00e9g\u00e9\u2019s recertification.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 may participate in the NASA MPP as many times as they would like. However, a Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 may engage in only one NASA MPA at any given time. In accordance with NFS 1819.72, the following entities are eligible to be chosen as Prot\u00e9g\u00e9s:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDBs)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) concerns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Service-Disabled Veteran\u2013Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Historically Black College or University (HBCUs)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minority Serving Institutions (MSI)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Small businesses with an active NASA Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II contract<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Companies participating in the AbilityOne program<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>\n<a href=\"#top\">Back to top<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"benefits\">Benefits of Participation<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The MPP has the ability to uniquely transform a small business or minority-serving institution and enhance its capabilities to win contracts and subcontracts as a direct result of its participation.

Typical examples of developmental assistance may be related to technical transfer or business infrastructure. The dollar value associated with the technical transfer tasks should be approximately 70 percent of the proposed hours and cost. The remaining 30 percent may be related to business development tasks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Submit agreement for approval<\/strong>\u2014The agreements are submitted to one of the NASA Centers for review and endorsement. If the agreement is endorsed at the Center level, it will be forwarded to the MPP PM at MSFC in Huntsville, AL, for final review and approval within 30 business days of receipt. The agreement officially begins on the date of the incorporation of the agreement into a contractual vehicle via a contract modification signed by the CO.

A Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 may participate in the NASA MPP as many times as they would like. However, the Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 may only be in one active NASA MPA at a time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If I currently participate in another Federal agency\u2019s MPP, may I participate in the NASA MPP at the same time?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The NASA MPP is completely separate from any other Federal agency\u2019s MPP, and thus Mentors and Prot\u00e9g\u00e9s may participate in one or both of them at the same time, as long as the Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 has the resources to be mentored under two different Programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long is a Mentor approval valid for?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A Mentor approval letter is good for six years from the date of the letter. Six years after the date of approval the Mentor must resubmit their Mentor application with the updated information and go through the approval process again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a Mentor is disbarred or suspended from Government contracts for any reason, their Mentor approval is automatically withdrawn and they may no longer participate in the NASA MPP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does a potential Mentor need to apply by division, or is there a corporate-wide approval?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mentor approval may be corporate-wide, provided that Mentor applications are filled out with information at the corporate level. Once the application is submitted with corporate information and approved, all divisions of the company are eligible to participate as a Mentor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should a Mentor consider when selecting a Prot\u00e9g\u00e9?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mentor is solely responsible for selecting a Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 with whom they believe they can develop a successful relationship. Mentors should consider the following when selecting a Prot\u00e9g\u00e9:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A previous, established association is highly recommended between the Mentor and Prot\u00e9g\u00e9;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prot\u00e9g\u00e9\u2019s geographic proximity to the Mentor;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How the assistance aligns with the Prot\u00e9g\u00e9\u2019s strategic vision;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prot\u00e9g\u00e9\u2019s attitude regarding being mentored;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Commitment to the relationship by both parties;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Capabilities of the Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 and how they interface with the Mentor;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stability of the Prot\u00e9g\u00e9\u2019s management and financial status;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prot\u00e9g\u00e9\u2019s past performance;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Results of any contract\/subcontract work between the Mentor and Prot\u00e9g\u00e9;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Subcontracting expectations, and;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure that if the potential Prot\u00e9g\u00e9s have previously participated in the NASA MPP, they will not receive duplicate developmental and technical assistance on the next NASA MPA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where is a listing available of all NASA SBIR Phase II awardees?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The link to NASA SBIR Phase II companies may be found <a href=\"https:\/\/sbir.nasa.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 application?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 application is a separate application for potential Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 companies that details information about the company, including employee base and contracts received. However, it differs from the Mentor application in that it is NOT submitted in advance of an agreement, but is submitted concurrently with the agreement package. Any Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 applications that are submitted without a complete agreement package will not be kept on file and will have to be resubmitted with the agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the required documents that must be submitted with the agreement?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before submitting an MPA, please insure that it contains all of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Cover Letter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Application<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Completed Agreement Template<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Technical Proposal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cost Proposal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the agreement approval checklist?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The agreement approval checklist is an internal form that is utilized by NASA to determine that all required elements were included in the agreement package. The checklist does not need to be submitted with the agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the selection criteria for MPA approval?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All proposed agreements will be evaluated by the NASA Centers and MPP PM based on the following criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Merit of the developmental assistance to the Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 firm;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Perceived benefit\/value of the agreement to NASA;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Percentage of hours associated with technology transfer;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Subcontracting opportunities available to the Prot\u00e9g\u00e9;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Utilization of HBCUs\/MIs, PTACs, SBDCs; and,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proposed cost.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the limit on the period of performance for a MPA?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An agreement may not be longer than 36 months, or 3 years from the date the agreement begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If I previously participated in the NASA MPP prior to the update, will that affect my future participation?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, being a prior participant from the MPP before it was updated does not affect any future participation. Previous mentors are required to submit a mentor application before submitting any new agreements. Prot\u00e9g\u00e9s are allowed to participate in the new NASA MPP as many times a they would like.  Therefore, any participation prior to the update does not affect future participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are examples of technical transfer?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The developmental assistance provided under a MPA is expected to be about 70% technical transfer. Though this is by no means an exhaustive list, examples of technical transfer tasks may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Tooling design and fabrication<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quality management programs: ISO 9000, SEI\/CMMI, AS9100 Rev.
