Invitation No. 16 - 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. 16 - 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 CCC-owned 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 Peanut Storage Agreement plus storage charges incurred from the day after

the date of contract. The date of contractis the 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 Schedule 

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

loaded out for immediate shipment within 30 days after the date title is transferred. If the transferee does not 

request, in writing, load out within 30 days after the date title is transferred, the storage and handling rates 
2

applicable to the transferee for the peanuts shall not exceed CCC’s Schedule of Rates in effect at the time 

of title transfer until theearlier of:

(a) 60 days, or

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

(c) The transferee loadsthe 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.

Management Division (WCMD), Commodity Management Branch (CMB) by 12 p.m., central time (CT),
