Southwest Engineering Company sued Martin Tractor Company for not delivering a standby generator and accessory equipment as agreed upon. Defendant quoted a price of $18,500 but later increased it to $21,500 and offered a cheaper alternative which was not approved by the Corps of Engineers. The dispute is whether there was an enforceable agreement for the sale of goods under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) for contracts over $500. The trial court awarded damages for breach but rejected damages for delay. Defendant argued that the writing in question did not meet the requirements of a signed memorandum under the UCC.
