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. It mandates that all contractors adhere to equal employment principles, explicitly prohibiting discriminatory hiring practices. This order safeguards individuals from discrimination based on ten protected categories: race, sex, creed, age, color, disability, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, and citizenship status.

The City’s certification programs, including the Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) Program, the Emerging Business Enterprise (EBE) Program and the Locally-based Business Enterprise (LBE) Program certify, promote, and foster the growth of the City’s minority and women-owned businesses and eligible small construction and construction-related businesses. Companies that become certified obtain greater access to and information about contracting opportunities, receive technical assistance to better compete for those opportunities, and benefit from inclusion in the City’s Online Directory of Certified Firms. This list contains detailed information on certified companies, including a brief description of their work history, contact information, and detailed information about what the companies sell. This data is up to date as of the date reflected in the "About" tab of this dataset.
