Long Term Standing Agreements For Storage, Transportation And Lease

The Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency disburses funding under CFDA 10.999 to support long-term standing agreements for storage, transportation, and leasing of wheat, grain, and other commodities in support of Commodity Credit Corporation price-support operations, with the most recent reported activity dated through the current fiscal year.

This program finances recurring operational arrangements rather than discrete grant-funded projects. Eligible activities include warehousing and transportation agreements with commercial vendors for grain and processed-commodity storage and movement, FSA State and County Office lease agreements for administrative facilities, commodity processing fees, and barter-value transactions. The program captures non-FAR lease agreements, storage contracts, transportation arrangements, and related administrative costs that fall outside standard federal procurement reporting systems.

The source provides no recent grant award portfolio data, open grant opportunities, or historical award trends. The program description indicates this CFDA serves as a reporting mechanism for long-standing vendor relationships and operational expenses managed through FSA State and County Offices rather than a competitive grant solicitation program. No information is available on assistance type distribution, typical award magnitudes, concentration of funding among sub-agencies within USDA, or recent representative awards.

Given the nature of the program—capturing non-FAR leases and standing vendor agreements for commodity storage and transportation—this does not operate as a traditional discretionary grant vehicle open to external applicants. Organizations pursuing federal funding for related agricultural logistics or commodity handling would need to determine whether their activity falls within existing FSA vendor relationships or whether other USDA programs, procurement vehicles, or commodity programs are the appropriate vehicle for their proposal.
