The 40-50 degrees on top of the 15-17% moisture is really pushing it on a bare concrete floored bin. Your asking for trouble on three fronts. The temperature is higher than I like to store wet corn. The moisture is higher than I like to store field run corn. And the lack of an air floor coupled with the concrete will cause condensation.
If you can not change any of the three your going to have trouble. There is not much of a price advantage holding to just spring right now in the markets. With the large crop we have I really do not see any large price spikes coming. The days of $4-5 corn are gone for now. There is a world wide glut of feed grains so the world wide shortage that cause the high prices is gone. So unless your needing to defer income I would just sell it now and be done with it. With only 2000 bushels even a $.50 per bushel gain can easily be wiped out by spoilage and the resulting dockage.
IF your going to feed the grain it is different story. Even some out of condition grain can still be fed OK. Also just moving the corn out over a period of time will help remove any hot spots.
So it depends on your long term plans. IF it just store and sell come spring I would NOT recommend trying it. IF your going to feed it then you should be able to make it work.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
