OK if you want exact match on that string list put ^ in front and $ on end.

So we have the following with Corona688's enhanced check (thanks given) for no TEST_ files:

Code:
for FILE in "${CMR}"/TEST_*
do
    [ -d "$FILE" ] || continue # Don't run awk on nonexistent dirs
    # Store output in temporary file /tmp/$$
    # then overwrite the original's contents
    awk -F\| '$11~/^(tbc|123456|to follow)$/{$11=x} 1' OFS="|" < "$FILE" > /tmp/$$ &&
        cat /tmp/$$ > "$FILE"
done
rm -f /tmp/$$
