Preliminary Report on the DoD Mentor-Protege Program. Results of the Survey of the DoD Mentor-Protege Files.
Abstract
In March 1998 the General Accounting Office (GAO) issued a report on the results of its review of the DoD Mentor-Protege' Program. This report (GAO/NSIAD-98-92) concluded that an earlier survey of program participants, conducted by the DoD Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSADBU) did not produce sufficient information to enable GAO to draw conclusions regarding the overall extent to which the program is achieving the purposes for which it was established. As recommended by the GAO, the Department is proceeding with efforts to strengthen the annual performance review process to obtain reliable information upon which to draw these conclusions. In the interim, however, a review of existing data on 226 mentor- protege' agreements was conducted. These agreements include all those, which were approved for participation between FYi 994 through FYi 997. The data were gleaned from a variety of sources including annual performance reviews conducted by Defense Contract Management Command and dfrect responses from mentors and protege's.
