Types of Agreements
Credit Agreements
- In a credit-based MPA, a Mentor receives credit on a one-to-one basis toward its subcontracting goals. The credit is reported on the Individual Subcontract Report for the specific contract, as identified prior to the approval of the agreement.
Award Fee Program
- In the Award Fee Program, a Mentor is eligible to receive an award fee at the end of the agreement period based upon the Mentor’s performance in providing developmental assistance to its Protégé. Only NASA Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II Protégés are eligible to participate with Mentors in the Award Fee Program.
