The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is soliciting white papers from eligible mentor and protégé firms for its Mentor Protégé Program through a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) open for twelve months. This is a two-step process where selected white paper submitters will later be invited to submit formal proposals, contingent on the availability of program funds. No specific budget amounts are detailed in this initial announcement. The location for performance of services is not specified. Formal proposals are not being accepted at this time and should only be submitted upon request from DTRA.
