No, UCC Article 2 does not require one party to be a merchant for the provisions to apply. It governs the sale of goods and is applicable to both merchants and non-merchants alike. However, certain sections of Article 2 do provide additional rules and obligations that specifically pertain to merchants, reflecting their expertise and the nature of their transactions.

Under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), a merchant is defined as someone who deals in goods of the kind or has knowledge or skill unique to the goods involved in the transaction. Therefore, a merchant is typically recognized as such only in relation to the specific type of goods they regularly sell. If a merchant sells a different type of good that they do not typically deal in, they may not be considered a merchant for that specific transaction.

There is no statutory (UCC) requirement for an amendment to reflect a secured party's name change, so long as the secured party's contact address has not also changed. The purpose of the financing statement system under Article 9 is to give "notice" and even though the name of the creditor may have changed, so long as an inquiring person can find the creditor through its address and learn about the existence of the underlying security interest claim, then the purpose of the UCC is satisfied. See the Kansas case of Turnbull Oil v. N-B Co. for a good description of this issue. Although the case is under the prior version of Article 9, its rational is sound in finding no requirement to amend for a secured party name change.

Step 1: does the transaction take place in any state in the U.S., the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands? The UCC has been adopted in all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, so it applies in all of those jurisdictions. Step 2: Does the transaction involve a sale of goods? Article 2 of the UCC applies ONLY to sales of goods (ie, personal, movable property). It does not apply to the sale of real property (land) or intellectual property. If the answer to both of those questions is "Yes", then Article 2 of the UCC applies.
