The overall success of the GSA Mentor-Protege Program encompassing all participating mentors and Proteges will be measured by the extent to which it results in:
(a) An increase in the number, dollar value, and percentage of subcontracts awarded to Proteges by mentor firms under GSA contracts since the date of entry into the Program. The baseline that demonstrates an increase is determined by comparing the number and total dollar amount of subcontract awards made to the identified Protege firm(s) during the two preceding fiscal years (if any) that are listed in application;
(b) An increase in the number and dollar value of contract and subcontract awards (including percentage of subcontract awards) to Protege firms since the date of the Protege's entry into the Program (under GSA contracts and contracts awarded by other Federal agencies);
(c) An increase in the number and dollar value of subcontracts awarded to a Protege firm by its mentor firm; and
(d) An increase in subcontracting with Protege firms in industry categories where they have not traditionally participated within the mentor firm's activity (i.e., the Protege is expanding its field of expertise or is increasing its opportunities in areas where it has not traditionally performed).
(e) Assessments of the semi-annual reports submitted by the mentors and ``Lessons Learned'' evaluation submitted by the mentors and Proteges to the GSA Mentor-Protege Program Manager.
