Big Sky Decon expands into Texas law enforcement and grows decontamination services

Big Sky Decon has added its first Texas law enforcement partner, expanded interest in its manufacturing coolant system and broadened property decontamination work in Missoula. The moves show the Montana company’s UV-C technology is gaining traction across corrections, manufacturing and property management.

Why it matters: - Big Sky Decon is pushing its UV-C decontamination technology into multiple markets at once. - The expansion gives the company more reach in corrections, manufacturing and property management. - The broader use cases point to demand for tools that reduce odors, contamination and downtime.

What happened: - The Hays County Sheriff’s Office in Texas deployed three Big Sky Decon Area Decon Units inside its corrections facility. - Hays County is Big Sky Decon’s first law enforcement partner in Texas. - Big Sky Decon said its service division had its busiest summer to date. - The company formed a new partnership with Missoula Property Management, which manages more than 2,500 properties.

The details: - The Area Decon Units are portable UV-C systems meant to help staff treat holding cells and shared spaces affected by bodily fluids, feces, odors and other contaminants. - Big Sky Decon said the units are intended to give correctional staff another practical decontamination tool. - Interest is growing in the company’s Coolant Decontamination Unit, or CDU, from manufacturers. - The CDU continuously treats machine coolant and is designed to address foul odors, coolant disposal, coolant replacement, tank cleaning and manufacturing downtime. - Big Sky Decon said the CDU can help manufacturers extend coolant performance while reducing time and money spent replacing contaminated coolant and cleaning machine coolant tanks. - The company said the technology was built to solve recurring coolant problems that can affect maintenance, working conditions and production interruptions. - In Missoula, Big Sky Decon has been treating residential and rental property issues involving smoke damage, pet urine, persistent odors and apartments that need decontamination between occupants. - Big Sky Decon uses patented UV-C technology to address some contamination and odor problems without ozone, masking fragrances or harsh chemical treatments. - The service is available to homeowners, landlords and property managers dealing with odor and decontamination problems that traditional cleaning may not fully resolve. - Big Sky Decon’s current applications include law enforcement and corrections, manufacturing, property management and residential decontamination.

Between the lines: - The Texas deployment suggests the company is moving beyond pilot-style use into public safety operations. - Manufacturing interest in the CDU points to a market for equipment that reduces routine maintenance and production disruption. - Growth in property services shows Big Sky Decon is pairing product sales with recurring service work. - The company’s spread across several sectors indicates its UV-C platform is being positioned as a general decontamination tool rather than a single-use product.

What’s next: - Big Sky Decon is likely to keep expanding adoption of its Area Decon Unit, CDU and service offerings across additional facilities and property portfolios. - The company’s website offers more information about its products, services and decontamination applications: More information.

The bottom line: - Big Sky Decon is turning a Montana-based UV-C niche into a multi-industry decontamination business with early traction in Texas, manufacturing and Missoula property management.
