State Agency Procurement & Contract Management
TMB is required to post a contract management guide that establishes consistent contracting policies and practices to be followed by the agency that is consistent with the Comptroller’s Texas Procurement and Contract Management Guide. TMB’s Procurement and Contract Management Guide is posted pursuant to Government Code Section 2261.256.
In accordance with state law, the TMB seeks competition before awarding contracts. In addition, state law provides that state agencies may enter into certain contracts under programs where the competitive bid process takes place at the state level, rather than the agency level, to promote efficiency in contracting and to take advantage of the state’s purchasing power. Procurements with a value of less than $5,000 do not require competitive bidding.
