Following is information about the purchasing, delivery and surveying of agricultural commodities to foreign countries.
The Master Solicitation for Commodity Procurements (MSCP) is used for the solicitation of bids and award of contracts for various commodities under domestic and foreign food assistance programs administered by the Kansas City Commodity Office (KCCO). The MSCP was effective for solicitations issued after Sep 1, 2005.
April 11, 2012 - The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is implementing a licensing requirement, including inspection and examination procedures for all port and transloading facilities receiving, storing, handling, and shipping export food assistance commodities for U. S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) food assistance programs (PL 480, Title II and III, Food for Progress, Section 416(b) and McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition programs). Commodities purchased by FSA on or after June 15, 2012, may be stored or handled only by facilities licensed under the United States Warehouse Act (USWA).
FSA has developed a Licensing Agreement for Export Food Aid Commodity Warehouse Operators (WA-502). The WA-502 applies exclusively to U.S. Government Export Food Aid Commodities (EFAC) received, stored, handled and shipped at port warehouses or transloading facilities in the United States.
In addition to the Master Solicitation for Commodity Procurements and invitations for bids (IFB) issued by the Kansas City Commodity Office, bidders will also need to read the requirements for the commodity being procured.
