Such concerns must also have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate as subcontractors in the contracts awarded by any executive agency. The purpose of implementing the General Services Mentor-Protégé Program is to assist in this policy by encouraging GSA prime contractors to assist small businesses in enhancing their capabilities to perform contracts and subcontracts.
