## **MENTOR Protégé PROGRAM**

The Mentor Protégé Program (MPP) was created as a pilot program (Public Law 101-510) in 1990. The program was created by former Senator Sam Nunn and implemented by former Defense Secretary William Perry.  The MPP was established as a pilot program and has periodically been reauthorized by Congress.  The MPP was made permanent under the Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) Mentor Protégé Program (MPP) assists eligible Small Businesses (protégés) in developing their qualifications and ability to compete for prime contract and subcontract awards by partnering with large businesses (mentors), who provide developmental assistance under individual, project-based agreements to help meet the DTRA mission. The DTRA is participating in the MPP and has advertised a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) in the fall of 2023 for white papers for the MPP.
