If an employee is a contract manager for a contract that is not subject to TxDOT’s contract claims process (i.e. purchase orders), then the employee is required to be a Certified Texas Contract Manager (CTCM). In accordance with Tex Gov’t Code §§656.051 and 656.052 and 34 TAC §20.133, the employee must take the required classes and pass an examination offered by the CPA’s Statewide Procurement Division to become a CTCM.

Each District and Division is responsible for tracking their employees’ compliance with these training requirements.
