The Program includes—
Mentor firms and protégé firms that meet the criteria in appendix I, section I-102;
Mentor-protégé agreements that establish a developmental assistance program for a protégé firm;
A preliminary assessment of the protégé firm's cybersecurity readiness. The DoD Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP), Office of the Under Secretary of Defense, Acquisition and Sustainment (OUSD(A&S)), provides this preliminary assessment, which is a benefit of program participation; and
Incentives that DoD may provide to mentor firms, which include—
Reimbursement for developmental assistance costs through—
A separately priced contract line item on a DoD contract; or
A separate contract, upon written determination by the Director, OSBP, of the cognizant military department or defense agency that unusual circumstances justify reimbursement using a separate contract; or
Credit toward applicable subcontracting goals, established under a subcontracting plan negotiated under FAR subpart 19.7 or under the DoD Comprehensive Subcontracting Test Program, for developmental assistance costs that are not reimbursed.
