Improving Contract Procurement for Small Businesses through More Accurate Reporting Act of 2016

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 114th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Improving Contract Procurement for Small Businesses through More Accurate Reporting Act of 2016

This bill amends the Small Business Act to require the Small Business Administration to report to the President and Congress an analysis of the number and dollar amount of prime contracts awarded by federal agencies each fiscal year to small business concerns, including those:

owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans;
located in qualified HUBZones;
owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals;
owned by an Indian tribe, an Alaska Native Corporation, or a Native Hawaiian Organization; or
owned and controlled by women.

The analyses shall cover all such small business concerns:

that were purchased by another entity after the initial contract was awarded and as a result would no longer be deemed to be small business concerns for purposes of the initial contract, and
that were awarded using a procurement method that restricted competition to the kinds of small business concerns listed here or a subset of any of them.
