BACKGROUND
The Sheriff’s Office was awarded a federal pass-through grant designated to combat COVID-19 in jails and detention centers. A portion of these funds will be used to purchase a UVC Disinfection System for the Gaston County Jail. Skytron offers a mobile, whole-room disinfection method that is delivered to all surfaces at a pre-determined dosage of UV disinfection light.
Skytron’s UVC robot has proprietary SmartDosage UV™ technology that automatically calculates the correct dose of germicidal energy to disinfect all surfaces (including shadowed areas). Additionally, this device offers features such as infrared sensors to detect motion while disinfecting, handheld controller device, long lamp life, and other features that are unavailable with other UVC devices.
It is with these merits that make Skytron, LLC the only manufacturer that can provide this product. Further, Collier’s Medical Equipment is the exclusive Skytron representative for North Carolina. Sole Source approval has been granted by NCDHHS. Approval of this Board Action authorizes staff to proceed with the sole source purchase from Skytron, LLC.
