DOE’s OSDBU Mentor-Protégé Program (MPP)
The Department of Energy’s Mentor-Protégé Program is designed to encourage DOE prime contractors to assist small disadvantaged businesses certified by the Small Business Administration (SBA) under Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act, other small disadvantaged businesses, women-owned small businesses, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and other minority institutions of higher learning. The program seeks to foster long-term business relationships between these small business entities and DOE prime contractors and to increase the overall number of these small business entities that receive DOE prime contracts and subcontracts.

Great information. Thank you.
Nice job Mark and Charlie! Thank you for putting this video together to help inform small businesses during these difficult times. See you at the DOE Expo!
This was excellent. Thank you
The small-disadvantaged requirement for DOE support contacts really puts a pinch on the contractor employees as these small businesses lack that ability to provide cost-effective healthcare and retirement benefits. This is multiplied with mid-year contact awards that require the employees to suffer through a second round of high-cost medical insurance deductibles – again, a detriment of these small businesses contacts. While I applaud the Department’s program to provide access to these small businesses, they are a costly program to the contractor employees that support the Department.
