Black Box Network Services and Veterans First Initiative (VFI)
announced today that they have been approved by the Office of Small
Business Programs to participate in the Department of Defense (DoD)
Mentor-Protégé Program effective through April 28, 2019.
Since 1991, the Department of Defense (DoD) Mentor-Protégé
Program (MPP) has offered substantial assistance to small
disadvantaged businesses. Helping them to expand the overall base
of their marketplace participation has produced more jobs and
increased national income.
The DoD Mentor-Protégé Program assists small businesses
(protégés) in successfully competing for prime contract and
subcontract awards by partnering with large companies (mentors)
under individual, project-based agreements.
Traditionally, these partnerships have delivered a variety of
products and services specialized in: environmental remediation,
engineering services, information technology, manufacturing,
telecommunications, and health care. Recently, new Mentor-Protégé
agreements have focused on corrosion engineering, information
assurance, robotics, circuit board and metal component
manufacturing. The DoD hopes that future agreements will focus on
new technology areas such as radio frequency identification devices
and enhanced security assurance.
Successful mentor-protégé agreements provide a winning
relationship for the protégé, the mentor, and the DoD.
“We are honored to be approved as a mentor in the DoD’s
Mentor-Protégé Program,” commented Jeffrey Murray, Vice President
of Government Solutions at Black Box Network
Services. “Together Black Box and Veterans First Initiative
are already delivering outstanding systems integration services and
emerging technologies to the DoD. Early successes in the US
and Europe demonstrate the value of our relationship, combined
capabilities, and the program.”
“VFI is very pleased to participate in the DoD Mentor-Protégé
Program,” said Jeff Vrchoticky, President/CEO of Veterans First
Initiative. “We are very excited to have a great company like
Black Box as our mentor.”
