Metra, the service mark of the Northeast Illinois Regional Corporation, has issued Request for Information RFI No. 21 to conduct market research regarding customer care employee uniforms. The agency is seeking industry input on modern uniform concepts that prioritize employee comfort, mobility, and functionality while maintaining brand consistency within a customer-facing transit environment. This process is intended for future planning purposes and is not a competitive solicitation; therefore, no contract will be awarded, and no evaluation of vendors will occur as a result of this RFI. Interested companies are asked to provide information on fabric performance, sustainability, and design concepts suitable for the Chicago climate. Requirements include a wide range of sizing from XS to 5XL, including tall and maternity options, and materials that are breathable, moisture-wicking, and compatible with embroidery for the Metra logo. Respondents should submit company backgrounds, narrative descriptions of modern uniform concepts, technical fabric recommendations, and visual aids such as sketches or lookbooks. All responses must be submitted via the Bonfire portal by October 16, 2026, and should not include pricing or budgetary information.
