ANNOUNCEMENT SMAC 3

Invitation No. 5 - Hard Red Winter Wheat (HRW)

Amendement No. 1 to catalog 

The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) invites offers to purchase Hard Red Winter (HRW) Wheat in-store for 

unrestricted use in accordance with the terms and conditions of Announcement SMAC 3.

CCC-owned wheat inventory information may be obtained from CCC’s catalog listing, which is attached to this

Invitation.

CCC-owned wheat will be sold and released in store at the primary code location listed in the catalog, using the

factors shown on the warehouse receipt. The buyer is not liable for the in-charge. Although CCC does not guarantee

the quality of the wheat that will be loaded out, warehouse operators are obligated to deliver the warehouse receipt

liability. CCC will not pay the load out charges. The loadout charges listed on the catalog are for informational

purposes only. Bidders should verify with the warehouse operator on their CCC loadout rates.

The warehouse operator is obligated to load out of the advertised location, unless otherwise agreed upon by the buyer. 

Furthermore, the warehouse operator is responsible for any freight differential from a location other than the 

advertised location. 

Prior to submitting a bid, interested parties are: 

• Advised to check with the storing warehouse operator regarding applicable load out rates, scheduling, quality

and location of the commodity, and

• Strongly urged to work with storing warehouse operator(s) to establish premium and discount schedules in

case of quality or location discrepancies.
USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.

Any differences must be settled between the buyer and the storing warehouse operator.

Storage for the account of CCC will be through the date of contract. The date of contract will be the date the buyer 

was notified of their successful bid. The buyer is responsible for paying storage charges in accordance with the CCC 

Storage Agreement - Uniform Grain and Rice Storage Agreement (CCC-25), which is stated below. 

PART II - GENERAL TERMS 

A. Scope 

1. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement apply to all CCC-interest grain as 

of the date of deposit or the date title is transferred to CCC, until such grain is loaded out or title is transferred from 

CCC to another party (transferee). 

2. If CCC transfers title to CCC-owned grain in store, the storage and handling rates applicable to the transferee with 

respect to such grain shall not exceed CCC’s schedule of rates in effect at the time of title transfer until the earlier of: 

a) 60 calendar days, or 

b) The day the grain is loaded out of the warehouse by any party. 

3. Notwithstanding 2 above, if CCC transfers title to CCC-owned grain in store, the storage and handling rates 

contained in the schedule of rates will apply to such grain until it is loaded out, provided the transferee, in writing, 

orders the grain loaded out for immediate shipment within 30 calendar days after the date title is transferred by CCC. 

Purchaser must submit to CCC payment equal to 100% of contract value within five business days after the date of 

contract. If payment is not received within five business days of contract date, interest will accrue for the account of 

the buyer on the sixth business day and continue up to the date payment is received by CCC. It is not acceptable for 

a purchaser to withhold payment in favor of continuing to pay interest to CCC. Also, if payment is not received within 

five business days, CCC will consider it a contract violation and reserves the right to terminate the contract for default. 

No offer on any one catalog lot number will be contingent upon the acceptance of another catalog lot number. Offers 

on partial lots are unacceptable. Lots must be bid on in full. 

Offers and any modifications or withdrawals of offers must be received in the Kansas City Commodity Office 

(KCCO) by 12:00 p.m., central time (CT), July 25, 2017.
