UNSPSC 10226803: Pentas lanceolata

Pentas lanceolata, commonly known as Egyptian star, is a species of flowering plant (Angiosperm) belonging to the Rubiaceae family, it is native to much of Africa as well as Yemen. 2 It is known for its wide use as a garden plant where it is often used in butterfly gardens.

UNSPSC 10226803 Pentas lanceolata is a Commodity code that names a single ornamental plant species. The code shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains twenty-seven posted solicitations spanning construction, landscaping, maintenance, transportation, utility, and facility renovation work across Florida, Arizona, Connecticut, California, Oregon, New Jersey, Michigan, Kentucky, and other jurisdictions. None of these opportunities target the purchase of Pentas lanceolata plants or related botanical materials. One posting—the Town of Palm Beach's request to install seven Lignum-Vitae trees at Bicentennial Eagle Median (RFBNO2026060, due September 24, 2026)—involves live plant materials but specifies a different species entirely. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity on record indicates this code generates minimal or no actionable purchasing signals for nursery or ornamental plant vendors at present.

State and local landscape and grounds-maintenance opportunities active in the recent window do reference plant installation and grounds restoration—including the Pasco County median landscaping Phase II project (IFB KM27004, bids due October 6, 2026), the City of Fort Worth's irrigation and grounds maintenance services RFP (RFP 26-0250, proposals due September 24, 2026), and the City of Pembroke Pines driving range re-turfing project (RE26QQ05, bids due July 16, 2026)—but procurement under those codes does not isolate plant purchase as a discrete line item or commodity and does not name the Pentas species. This code is a watch, not a pursue.
