The variety of lemons known as escondido lemons that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344104 Frozen escondido lemons, a Commodity code, describes specialty frozen fruit products sourced for institutional food service and nutrition programs across state and local government. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on bulk frozen fruit sourcing for K-12 school districts, state health and human services facilities, county nutrition programs, and early childhood education providers. The issuing bodies posting under this code span school districts (ranging from single-county boards of education to regional systems), state departments of health and human services and corrections, county boards of commissioners, municipal procurement offices, and federally funded community organizations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission posts repeatedly for frozen food products serving state hospitals and state supported living centers; Georgia, Texas, and Oregon appear as active state-level buyers; and county-level districts in Florida, Georgia, and Connecticut also solicit under this family.
