JH ACQUISITION, LLC

JH Acquisition, LLC specializes in the design, manufacture, and delivery of high-precision atmospheric sensing instruments, with deep expertise in ozone sonde systems and cryogenic frostpoint hygrometers. The company produces expendable, balloon-borne instruments capable of measuring vertical profiles of ozone and water vapor from the planetary boundary layer through the stratosphere, supporting critical climate monitoring and atmospheric research missions. Their technical capabilities include integration of electrochemical concentration cell (ECC) sensors, lithium metal power systems, precision pressure/temperature/humidity modules, and specialized payout reels and parachute recovery systems. JH Acquisition distinguishes itself through its focus on field-deployable, mission-critical instrumentation that meets stringent NASA and NOAA performance standards for accuracy, reliability, and environmental resilience under extreme altitudes and temperatures. The contractor maintains a consistent and trusted relationship with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Department of Commerce, particularly through NOAA’s Global Monitoring Laboratory. For NASA, they supply ozone sondes for global SHADOZ and other balloon-based observation networks, while for the Department of Commerce, they deliver calibrated hygrometers and ozone sensors essential for long-term atmospheric trend analysis and ozone layer monitoring. These agencies rely on JH Acquisition for turnkey, end-to-end instrument delivery, including calibration, packaging, and logistical support for remote launch sites. JH Acquisition operates primarily within NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), focusing on scientific instrumentation for environmental and aerospace applications. Their market positioning is that of a niche manufacturer serving the upper-atmosphere sensing segment, where precision, reproducibility, and environmental adaptability are paramount. As a small business structured as a 2K entity based in Westminster, Colorado, JH Acquisition is positioned to support federal science missions with agile, specialized manufacturing. While currently holding no formal government certifications, their consistent delivery of mission-critical hardware to leading federal research agencies underscores their reliability and technical credibility in the federal procurement ecosystem.
