The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) is participating in the Department of War's Mentor-Protege Program, designed to link small businesses with experienced defense contractors. Managed by DCSA's Office of Small Business Programs, the initiative is funded by the Department of War Office for Industrial Base Growth.

It aims to increase small-business participation in defense supply chains, enabling them to gain technical and business development expertise. Mentor companies benefit by developing new subcontractors. The program features a two-phase application process, with eligibility details available on SAM.gov.
