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.
As a law student I cannot and am not giving legal advice but only letting you know what I learned in class. The UCC applies to a sale of goods. However, in a mixed sale transaction (where you are buying a good and also a service; say for example, purchasing a pool which includes the service to install it), the majority of courts have held that the UCC applies if the "dominant purpose" of the transaction is to provide goods rather than services. It's really just a balancing test. In the example, I mentioned, you could argue that the transaction falls under the UCC because you really wanted a pool and not the service. Just ask yourself, what was the dominant purpose?

While buyers and sellers are not required to know about the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), understanding its principles can significantly benefit both parties in a commercial transaction. The UCC governs sales of goods and provides a framework for resolving disputes, which can help protect their rights and obligations. Awareness of the UCC can lead to more informed decisions and smoother transactions, but it is not a legal requirement for participation in the marketplace.
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.

The perfect tender rule primarily applies to the sale of goods under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), specifically in Article 2, which governs such transactions. While FAR Part 12, which deals with the acquisition of commercial items, incorporates UCC principles, the perfect tender rule is not limited to FAR. It can also apply in other contexts involving the sale of goods outside of FAR regulations.
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) consists of 11 articles, each addressing different aspects of commercial transactions. These articles cover topics such as sales, leases, negotiable instruments, bank deposits, letters of credit, and secured transactions, among others. Each article is further divided into sections that provide detailed regulations and guidelines.
