Fitzthum, Jennifer

Canyon Creek Enterprises, operated as a sole proprietorship by Jennifer Fitzthum, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Oroville, Washington, that has established itself as a specialized supplier of critical wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response resources to the U.S. federal government. The company has been registered in SAM.gov since May 2017 and maintains an active federal vendor presence through its focus on providing essential firefighting equipment and services to the U.S. Forest Service and related federal agencies.

Canyon Creek Enterprises has demonstrated consistent performance as a prime federal contractor, supplying water handling services and equipment specifically tailored for wildland fire suppression operations across multiple Forest Service regions. The company's contract awards span from September 2021 through October 2025, with delivery orders funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, including its Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) and the National Interagency Fire Center. Notable delivery orders include a $128,146 award in August 2024 for water tenders, a $65,675 order in July 2024, a $52,425 delivery in September 2024, and three additional orders totaling approximately $50,900 issued in September and October 2025. The company's core product offerings include Type 2 water tenders, crew transport vehicles, engines, and support water tenders, with performance locations primarily concentrated in Washington state (Wenatchee and Ellensburg) and extending to the Albuquerque, New Mexico area. None of the delivery orders received specific small business set-aside designations, though Canyon Creek Enterprises' self-certified small disadvantaged business status remains a competitive advantage. All delivery orders have been issued on a firm fixed-price basis under the company's underlying Indefinite Delivery Contract vehicles.

Canyon Creek Enterprises holds two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts, both with $250,000 ceiling values and designated as multiple-award vehicles set aside for total small business participation. The original IDC, awarded June 2, 2022, by the U.S. Forest Service through the National Interagency Fire Center, covers water handling services and equipment for Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10, with an ultimate completion date of June 6, 2025, and has generated multiple task orders totaling over $246,000. A successor IDC was awarded May 29, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of May 29, 2030, similarly structured as a multiple-award small business set-aside for the Pacific Northwest Region specifically. Both contracts were established through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system as Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) designed to enable rapid deployment of critical firefighting equipment during emergency wildfire scenarios. These IDC vehicles have proven foundational to Canyon Creek Enterprises' federal contracting success, providing the contractual framework through which the company maintains ready access to Forest Service procurement opportunities across western regions during peak fire suppression seasons.
