FY 2013 Food for Peace Call Forward Schedule

The schedule is divided into monthly entries, each specifying the WBSCM Entry Deadline, Scheduled Purchase Date, Commodity Type, Invitation Number, U.S. Load Port, Delivery Port, and estimated Dates for Bulk and Packaged commodities. The schedule begins in October 2012, with the first entry listing a WBSCM Entry Deadline of October 10, 2012, and a Scheduled Purchase Date of November 5, 2012. The commodity type is listed as Bulk, with a TBD (To Be Determined) destination country. The U.S. Load Port is not specified, but the Delivery Port is listed as TBD, with estimated Dates of November 5 or November 25, 2012. The schedule continues through the year, with entries for December 2012, January 2013, February 2013, and March 2013. The commodity types and delivery ports vary throughout the schedule, with some entries listing Packaged commodities and others listing Bulk commodities. In April 2013, the schedule lists a WBSCM Entry Deadline of April 5, 2013, and a Scheduled Purchase Date of May 5, 2013. The commodity type is listed as Bulk, with a TBD destination country. The U.S. Load Port is not specified, but the Delivery Port is listed as TBD, with estimated Dates of May 5 or May 25, 2013. The schedule continues through the year, with entries for June 2013, July 2013, August 2013, and September 2013. The commodity types and delivery ports vary throughout the schedule, with some entries listing Packaged commodities and others listing Bulk commodities. Due to the overlap in fiscal years between when WBSCM entries are completed and when commodities are purchased, September calls forward will only be considered under exceptional circumstances and must be approved by FFP senior management. The schedule also notes that FFP will make every attempt to process and approve sales orders submitted after the deadlines listed above, but cannot guarantee that they will be included on the respective invitation. The schedule is subject to change, and the destination country for some entries is listed as TBD. The Call Forward Schedule is an essential tool for the Food for Peace program, providing a clear outline of the key dates and deadlines for commodity purchases and delivery. It ensures that all stakeholders are aware of the schedule and can plan accordingly.
