CUSTOMER CARE UNIFORMS
Solicitation # RFI No. 21
Metra, the service mark of the Northeast Illinois Regional Corporation, has issued Request for Information No. 21 to conduct market research regarding uniforms for its customer care employees. The agency is seeking industry input to transition from traditional apparel to modern uniform concepts that enhance employee comfort, mobility, and functionality while maintaining brand consistency in a public transit environment. Specifically, Metra is looking for recommendations on breathable, moisture-wicking, wrinkle-resistant, and stain-release fabrics suitable for the year-round Chicago climate. The research emphasizes inclusivity, requiring information on garments that accommodate diverse body types, gender expression, accessibility needs, and maternity requirements, with sizing ranging from XS to 5XL including tall sizes. This process is strictly for planning purposes and is not a competitive solicitation; therefore, no contract will be awarded, no vendor evaluations will occur, and pricing information should not be submitted. Interested companies are asked to provide background information, narratives on modern uniform concepts, sustainability considerations, and visual aids such as lookbooks or sketches. Additionally, respondents should provide physical samples of fabrics, collars, and durable features. All responses must be submitted via the Bonfire portal by October 16, 2026, at 4:00 P.M. LPT.
