H.R. 4727 would direct the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to establish a program
for mentor firms to enter into agreements with prot6gd firms to help them compete for prime
contracts and subcontracts.

DHS  is currently carrying out activities similar to those required by this act, and any new
activities required under the legislation would not require substantial action by the
department. Thus, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 4727 would not have a significant
cost; any spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.

On December  20, 2019, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 4727, the Department of
Homeland  Security Mentor-Prot6gd Program Act of 2019, as passed by the House of
Representatives on December 9, 2019. The two acts are similar and CBO's estimates of their
budgetary effects are the same.

The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Lindsay Wylie. The estimate was reviewed by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
