Summary

Veteran-Owned Small Business Promotion Act of 2005 - Requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to award not less than nine percent of the total value of all prime contract and subcontract awards for each fiscal year to small businesses owned and controlled by veterans. Requires at least one-third of those awards to go to small businesses owned and controlled by veterans with service-connected disabilities. Requires a business, in order to be so eligible, to be listed in a database of veteran-owned small businesses maintained by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. Provides enforcement penalties for misrepresentation as a veteran-owned small business. Treats a veteran's surviving spouse as a veteran for purposes of eligibility of a business after the death of the veteran-owner. Provides the highest priority in the award of such contracts and subcontracts to small businesses owned and controlled by veterans with service-connected disabilities. Directs the Secretary, in procuring goods and services pursuant to a contracting preference, to give priority to a small business owned and controlled by a veteran if such small business also meets the requirements of the contracting preference.
