DASNY - Mentor Protégé Program

The Dormitory Authority State of the State of New York (“DASNY”), is releasing this Request for Information (“RFI”) to determine interest and solicit information from firms interested in developing and participating in a Mentor Protégé Program as a Mentor. By participating in the program, Mentors will gain a stronger network of subcontractors while protégé participants will benefit from gaining knowledge and understanding of DASNY projects and be able to successfully bid and work on DASNY projects as Prime Contractors, Consultants and/or Vendors. Mentors must be able to provide support and resources to eligible firms to (1) develop, (2) grow and (3) establish business relationships in the areas of Construction, Professional Services and/or Commodities.  Mentors will also provide guidance and development with regard to performance within the government contracting space. Bi-weekly reports including overall program deliverables/statistics will be provided to DASNY by the Mentor. Protégé firms must be small businesses or MWBEs, may have only one mentor at a time, and can participate in the program for a maximum of five years.   It is anticipated that DASNY will engage one Mentor for a cohort of Proteges. DASNY may engage one mentor for Construction, Professional Services and/or Commodities engagements, and identify the appropriate cohorts of proteges to partner with each mentor. Additional program details will be further defined as part of a future Request for Proposal (RFP).

This RFI is a formal, non-competitive informational inquiry that is being released to obtain market information, desire, and input on services provided in connection with the Mentor Protégé Program. Submittal of an RFI is not a condition for future consideration as a potential provider of the services contemplated herein. Consequently, it is understood and agreed that no obligation or commitment is made by DASNY to any respondent submitting a response to this RFI.

The information collected through this RFI will inform subsequent procurements to advance the Mentor Protégé Program. It is anticipated that DASNY will issue a Request for Proposal for firms interested in developing and participating in a Mentor Protégé Program as a Mentor.

Firms interested in responding to this solicitation may access the RFI and related documents through Explore Bid and RFP Opportunities | DASNY on DASNY’s website.
