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

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 transferee are to be settled between the storing warehouse operator and the contractor. CCC will not facilitate this settlement.

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.

CCC will pay storage through the date of contract. The transferee is responsible for paying loadout charges ($20) per ton in accordance with the Peanut Storage Agreement, https://www.fsa.usda.gov/Assets/USDA-FSA-Public/usdafiles/Comm-Operations/procurement-and-sales/sales/pdfs/annsmac3.pdf https://www.fsa.usda.gov/Assets/USDA-FSA-Public/usdafiles/Comm-Operations/procurement-and-sales/sales/pdfs/annsmac3.pdf plus storage charges incurred from the day after the date of contract. The date of contract is the date the offeror is notified by CCC that its bid is successful.

If CCC transfers title to CCC-owned peanuts in-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 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 peanuts is transferred by the transferee to another party, or

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

Purchasers 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 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.
