text: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
  
      This Act may be cited as the ``Honoring Promises to Service-
  Disabled Veterans Act of 2011''.
  
  SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
  
      Congress finds the following:
              (1) Federal agencies have an obligation to comply with the 
          Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act of 
          1999 (Public Law 106-50; 113 Stat. 233), and the amendments 
          made by that Act, which established a Government-wide goal that 
          not less than 3 percent of the total value of all prime 
          contracts and subcontracts be awarded to small business 
          concerns owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans each 
          fiscal year (referred to in this section as the ``Government-
          wide goal for service-disabled veterans'').
              (2) Progress in meeting the Government-wide goal for 
          service-disabled veterans has been unacceptably slow.
              (3) Prime contractors doing business with the United States 
          Government have an obligation to do their part to meet the 
          Government-wide goal for service-disabled veterans.
              (4) The public has a right to know whether the Executive 
          departments (as defined in section 101 of title 5, United 
          States Code) and prime contractors are meeting the Government-
          wide goal for service-disabled veterans.

                OWNED AND CONTROLLED BY SERVICE-DISABLED VETERANS.

                      ``(B) the term `Executive department' has the

target: Honoring Promises to Service-Disabled Veterans Act of 2011 - Amends the Small Business Act to direct the head of each executive department to submit a quarterly report to the Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA) containing the percentage of the total value of all prime contracts awarded by the executive department during the preceding three-month period to small business concerns owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans, including, along with other specified percentages, for contracts awarded to certain contractors required to submit a subcontracting plan, the negotiated percentage goal for utilization of such subcontractors and the total value of subcontracts entered into by the contractor awarded to service-disabled veteran small business concerns.
  
  Requires the Administrator to: (1) annually rank the executive departments and contractors concerned based on specified contracting and subcontracting percentages; (2) publish and update at least quarterly, on a publicly accessible website, subject to exceptions for information detrimental to national security, such information reported by the executive departments and the Administrator's annual rankings; and (3) submit to Congress an annual report on the progress of each executive department toward meeting the government-wide goal for service-disabled veterans (a government-wide goal that at least 3% of the total value of all prime contracts and subcontracts be awarded to small business concerns owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans each fiscal year) established in the Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act of 1999.
