This video covers the background, areas of eligibility, and how to participate in the DOE's Mentor Protégé Program. This program encourages DOE prime contractors to assist small disadvantaged businesses (SDB) certified by SBA under section 8(a) of the Small Business Act (8(a)), other small disadvantaged businesses, women-owned small businesses (WOSB), service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), veteran-owned small businesses (VOSB), historically underutilized business zone (HUBZone) small businesses, historically black colleges and universities (HCBUs), and other minority institutions of higher learning to enhance their capabilities and improve their abilities to perform contracts and subcontracts for the DOE and other federal agencies. The DOE’s MPP seeks to foster long-term business relationships between small businesses and DOE prime contractors and to increase the overall number of small businesses that receive DOE prime contracts and subcontracts.

This program operates separately from the Small Business Administration’s (SBA's) Mentor Protégé Program (All Small MPP). The MPP helps increase participation and maximize opportunities for small businesses to work with the Department. The Department of Energy’s (DOE or the Department) Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) manages the DOE's Mentor-Protégé Program (MPP).
