Description

Orion Bus Industries is a manufacturer of transit buses that are purchased by transit authorities across North America. The majority of Orion's sales are made through competitive bidding processes.

The chief executive officer would like to know whether historical contract bidding data can be used to improve the success of future bids for bus contracts.
