Mentor-Protégé Programs

Corporate and Federal Mentor Relationships
Generally, corporate/federal contracting relationships are administered through the corporation's Small Business Development Office, Diversity Supplier Officer, Purchasing Department or offices with similar names. These offices are often in contact with federal agencies regarding procurement opportunities. The point of contact is usually the corporate Small Business Liaison Officer.
