Yes, this is part of the hybrid contract.  I was just told that you can only use "Labor Hour CLIN" to define cost for travel and ODCs.  My understanding is that this would define those CLINs as a time and materials cost and not on a reimbursable as defined in the FAR.

Not sure what is meant by the second sentence. As for the 3rd sentence, per FAR 52.232-7 (b)(1)(ii)(C), materials mean, among other things, ODC (which may include travel). Per (b)(3) and (b)(4), such material costs appear to be reimbursable. Does your contract clause indicate the same language?

Did whoever told you this give you a FAR citation to support the assertion?  I see nothing in the FAR to support this.  Travel and ODCs can be, and often are, funded on a cost reimbursement basis.

No, they did not tell me where in the FAR.  They said that the Travel and ODCs couldn't be defined beforehand so they had to be set as a labor-hour clin with a NTE limit.  I've managed several similar contracts and have never seen this.  They said they had to make it a labor-hour and FFP hybrid because there were three CLINs that couldn't be defined with price beforehand and these had to be set this way pursuant to the FAR.  The 3 CLINs are: Travel, ODC and Surge projects.

Like I said, in the past these were all defined within the FFP with a NTE limit.
