FY27 Mentor Protege Program (MPP) Broad Agency Announcement

The Department of War’s FY27 Mentor‑Protégé Program (MPP) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) seeks large prime contractors (Mentors) to provide developmental assistance to eligible small‑business protégés. The effort is structured as a two‑phase process: Phase I requires a white‑paper submission (technical and cost summary) within 30 days of the announcement; Phase II invites selected firms to submit a full proposal and, optionally, a Protégé Pilot Initiative (PPI) application. The program focuses on modernizing IT infrastructure, data integration/analytics, cyber/industrial security, and digital workforce development. Mentors must have ≥ $25 M in DOW contracts and an active subcontracting plan; protégés must meet SBA size standards and qualify under designated socioeconomic categories. Deliverables include technical assistance, business development, cybersecurity compliance training, facility‑clearance support, and other mentorship services. The agreement is reimbursable, capped at a three‑year period (12 months base plus up to two 12‑month extensions).
