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?

Is the implied warranty for a particular purpose only for a sales contract?
There's an implied warranty of "fitness for a particular purpose" under most states' versions of Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, which deals with "sales". A "warranty for a particular purpose" is presumed to be synonymous with the UCC's implied warranty of fitness. Implied warranties under Article 2 of the UCC apply only to sales of goods, however, and goods are generally defined or construed to mean something tangible that isn't incorporated into real estate. In mixed cases where a sale of goods is combined with a sale of services, courts must determine which is primary and which is merely incidental. I.e., if the sale of goods is determined to be merely incidental to the sale of services, Article 2 might not apply if the goods don't work in the manner the buyer had hoped. Most if not all states also recognize various "implied warranties" under their common law. Two commonly recognized implied warranties apply to "habitability" of residential property, and "reasonable workmanship" of any construction. In addition, at least in Pennsylvania where I practice, the courts have recognized implied warranties of fitness for particular purposes in non-sales situations, and utilize the UCC's implied warranties as guides.
Does the buyer and seller have to know about the UCC?
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.
