Twelve teams of Department of Defense prime contractors and their proteges from small, disadvantaged businesses [were] honored with the Nunn-Perry Award during the 6th Annual DoD Mentor-protege Conference, held March 159.7 in Arlington, Va.

This award is named in honor of both former Senator Sam Nunn, who sponsored legislation to create the Defense Department's Mentor-Protege Program, and former Secretary of Defense William Perry in recognition of his implementation of the program.

The Nunn-Perry Award recognizes mentor-protege teams that have excelled in technical developments, cost efficiencies, and increased business opportunities for small disadvantaged firms.

The DoD's Mentor-Protege Program, which began in 1991, is a national initiative to encourage large defense contractors to develop the technical capabilities of small disadvantaged businesses. It also qualifies organizations employing the severely disabled to compete more effectively for defense-related work. The Department's program has served as a model for other government agencies.
