Invitation No. 25 - Peanuts

The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) invites offers to purchase peanuts in-store for 

unrestricted use in accordance with the terms and conditions of Invitation No. 25 - Peanuts.

CCC-owned peanut inventory information may be obtained from CCC’s catalog listing, which is 

attached to this Invitation.

CCC-owned peanuts will be sold and released in-store at the primary code and location listed on 

the catalog, using the factors shown on the warehouse receipt(s). Although CCC does not guarantee 

the quality of peanuts that will be loaded out, warehouse operators are obligated to deliver the total 

USDA calculated loan value of peanuts, based on the factors on the warehouse receipt. CCC will 

not pay the loadout charges. Prior to submitting a bid, interested parties are advised to check with 

the storing warehouse operator regarding scheduling, quality and any applicable charges including 

fumigation and grading/inspection fees. The transferee (buyer) will be responsible for any of these 

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

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

upon by the buyer. Please be advised that due to the existence of merged agreements, the CCCowned bulk peanuts may or may not be in the exact advertised location. However, the warehouse 

operator is bound to the Peanut Storage Agreement (PSA), which requires delivery from the 

warehouse location advertised in the catalog but may be delivered from an alternative location 

agreed on by the warehouse operator and the 3rd party.

Potential buyers will be required to enter a per ton bid (no more than two decimal places) based on 

the total net tons including loose shelled kernels (LSK) represented by the catalog. Regardless of 

size, lots must be bid on in their entirety. Each bid will be analyzed independently, and no offer can 

be contingent upon the acceptance of other offers. CCC reserves the right to reject any or all offers. 

Any differences in quantity and quality of CCC-owned peanuts received by the buyer are to be 

settled between the storing warehouse operator and the buyer. CCC will not facilitate this settlement.

CCC will pay storage through the date of contract. The transferee (buyer) is responsible for paying 

loadout charges in accordance with the PSA plus storage charges incurred from the day after the

date of contract. The date of contractisthe date the buyer is notified byCCC that its bid is successful.

If CCC transferstitle to CCC-owned peanutsin-store, the storage and handling rates contained in the 
2 

Schedule of Rates will apply to the peanuts until loaded out, provided the transferee, in writing, 

orders the peanuts loaded out for immediate shipmentwithin 30 daysafter the date title istransferred. 

Ifthe transferee does not request, in writing, load out within 30 days after the date title istransferred, 

the storage and handling rates applicable to the transferee for the peanuts shall not exceed CCC’s 

Schedule of Rates in effect at the time of title transfer until the earlier of: 

(a) 60 days, or 

(b) Title to the peanutsis transferred by the transferee to another party, or

(c) The transferee loads the peanuts out of the warehouse.

Buyers of peanuts must remit to CCC payment equal to 100% of contract value within five business 

days after the date of contract. CCC will transfer title to the peanuts (in-store) upon receipt of 

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

for the account of the buyer from the first calendar day after the date of the contract through the 

date payment is received by CCC. It is not acceptable for a buyer to withhold payment in favor

of continuing to pay interest to CCC.
