The award was given to the team of Northrop Grumman and Davidson
Technologies Inc., a woman-owned small business providing
engineering, technical and management solutions for defense,
aerospace and commercial customers. The mentor-protégé agreement
was signed under the Missile Defense Agency's Joint National
Integration Center Research Development Contract (JRDC). The first
JRDC mentor-protégé team, Northrop Grumman and Boecore, won a
Nunn-Perry Award in 2008, the first for a team supporting the
Missile Defense Agency.
"Our work under JRDC is diverse, complex and challenging and
advancing our small business teammates enables them to become even
more valuable to our team," said Dan Verwiel, vice president and
general manager, missile defense and protective systems division,
Northrop Grumman Mission Systems. "The Nunn-Perry Award
acknowledges the successes achieved through mentor-protégé
partnership and teamwork."
The DOD Mentor-Protégé Program assists small businesses in
successfully competing for prime contracts and subcontracts by
partnering them with large companies. Successful mentor-protégé
agreements provide a winning relationship for the protégé, the
mentor and the DOD.
The Nunn-Perry Award is named in honor of retired U.S. Senator
Sam Nunn, who sponsored legislation to enact the Mentor-Protégé
Program in 1991, and former Secretary of Defense William Perry.
Nunn-Perry Awards are the highest honor companies can receive in
the program.
The Mentor-Protégé Program is managed as part of Northrop
Grumman's Global Supplier Diversity Program, which is designed to
expand subcontracting opportunities for all classes of small
business concerns. Northrop Grumman is an active and committed
participant in the DOD Mentor-Protégé Program. The company has
mentored more than 130 small businesses since 1992 and received 23
Nunn-Perry Awards, more than any other company in the program.
