- Sources Sought Notice: Peanut Compliance Services
Background: Peanuts in the United States are produced and marketed with the support of U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) agencies including the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) and the Farm Service Agency (FSA), as well as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Several State and private agencies assist locally throughout various parts of the marketing chain. The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Farm Bill) requires all peanuts marketed in the United States to be inspected and graded by Federal or Federal-State inspectors. Imported peanuts are subject to the same quality and handling standards as domestically produced peanuts. As provided under the Farm Bill, the Peanut Standards Board (Board), which is comprised of peanut industry members, consults with USDA on the establishment and revision of peanut standards.
The Standards regulate both the incoming quality of farmers- stock peanuts and the outgoing quality of peanuts prepared for human consumption. The Standards are applicable to all peanuts produced in or imported into the United States. Grading for quality are performed by Federal or State inspectors authorized by AMS Specialty Crops Inspection Division. Each lot is identified and is tracked through the entire marketing chain. In addition to grading for quality each lot of peanuts is also required to be laboratory tested and do not exceed the limit for Aflatoxin. Aflatoxin testing and certification is performed by laboratories authorized by AMS-s Science and Technology Program. Working closely with the AMS Specialty Crops Program Market Development Division (MDD), which oversees the Peanut Standards Program, the contractor verifies compliance with the Standards through routine visits to handler facilities and reviews of inspection and certification documentation. The contractor prepares and forwards case referrals regarding violations to MDD for enforcement action.
