This dataset contains a list of ICAP businesses that have successfully complied with Equal Employment Opportunity (EO 50) requirements and have received EO50 certificate of approval from the NYC Department of Small Business Services (SBS). Executive Order No. 50 was established in 1980 during Mayor Koch's tenure.
