Reston, VA — Assured Consulting Solutions (ACS), a mentor in the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Mentor-Protégé Program (MPP), is pleased to announce an extension of its DoD Mentor-Protégé Agreement (MPA) with the Abile Group. This extension migrates the award and administration to MPP-Intermediary MoveAmerica, allowing ACS to forge new relationships while continuing to foster the mentor-protégé relationship, now in its fourth year, and strengthen national security.
DoD MPP partnerships are designed to provide businesses with the opportunity to gain valuable insights, resources, and experience from established defense contractors. This allows businesses looking to enter the Defense Industrial Base to strengthen their capabilities and compete for prime contracts and subcontracts within the defense industry.
Through the award, ACS will continue to assist the Abile Group with maturing corporate capabilities to win and execute prime contracts in support of the DoD mission. This year’s capstone will focus on ACS assisting the Abile Group with developing a solution architecture to deliver their high-performance cyber-defense capabilities to national security stakeholders.
“ACS is incredibly pleased to continue working with our partner company, Abile Group. Through DoD’s patronage, we have built an outstanding foundation that will be capped off by the development and deployment of an invaluable cyber solution for Abile’s customers,” said Mandy Parmer, Managing Partner for ACS.
The mentor and protégé companies will be assisted in their efforts by MoveAmerica, a non-profit organization focused on solving critical challenges facing America's industrial base and supply chain. As the DoD MPP-Intermediary, MoveAmerica will provide the guidance and outreach needed to make the mentor-protégé relationship more effective and efficient, thereby helping the protégé company achieve a smoother entry into the Defense Industrial Base.
“MoveAmerica is pleased to support the DoD MPP in solving both today’s problems and meeting the challenges of tomorrow,” said Earl Wyatt, Executive Director of MoveAmerica. “In our role as MPP-Intermediary, we’re honored to work with the mentor and protégé companies to support the Secretary of Defense’s directive to rapidly field emerging technologies so the United States military can remain the strongest and most lethal force in the world.”
