SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

GSA no longer requires a GSA Mentor Protégé Program, as it is duplicative of the Small Business Administration (SBA) governmentwide mentor protégé program. Specifically, General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) Subpart 519.70, GSA Mentor-Protégé Program and associated clauses: 552.219-75, GSA Mentor-Protégé Program, and 552.219-76, Mentor Requirements and Evaluation have been removed.
