Living plant that belongs to the Urticaceae family. It is a small herb with small, succulent leaves opposite and very small unisexual flowers. Known as lentejita, lentil garrapatita, butterfly palm, northern artillery

UNSPSC 10161651 Pilea microphylla plant is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single plant species, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code show minimal genuine alignment with the code's scope. The opportunities posted since January 2026 reflect broader landscape installation, native plant restoration, and environmental planting services rather than procurement of Pilea microphylla specimens specifically. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation for generic plants in January 2026 with a response deadline of February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened stock with no substitutes accepted; Pasco County posted an IFB in March 2026 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road spanning 2.95 miles, due April 14, 2026; Collier County issued a Quick Quote in March 2026 for dune planting services involving approximately 56,250 native plants including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower, due March 13, 2026; and Pinellas County solicited a five-year RFP in February 2026 for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services with a proposal deadline of July 29, 2025, covering invasive species removal, native plant installation, and site maintenance across wetlands and stormwater facilities. The issuing bodies are mostly Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas) and municipalities (City of Dallas), with no standout repeat buyers evident in the recent postings.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Florida and Texas. Pasco County and Collier County both posted solicitations in March 2026 for landscape and coastal dune restoration work; Pinellas County's environmental services RFP, posted in February 2026, targets multiple mitigation and wetland sites across its jurisdiction. The City of Dallas represents activity in Texas. The scope mismatch is significant—only the generic Dallas plant purchase bears any direct relationship to commodity plant procurement, while the Pasco County Ridge Road project, Collier County dune stabilization effort, and Pinellas County five-year environmental services contract all involve labor-intensive installation, design, permitting, monitoring, and maintenance services well beyond simple plant supply. The code as currently applied does not cleanly map to the work actually being solicited, suggesting either miscoding of opportunities or a historical taxonomy alignment that no longer reflects procurement reality in these jurisdictions.
