Both prime and subcontractors must ensure formula integrity when adding rows for additional employees or subcontractors. The document also specifies how to apply indirect rates and emphasizes the need for a single worksheet per entity for the entire performance period. Finally, it details the CLIN Summary Sheet requirements, ensuring total costs match Section B and the main Cost Summary Spreadsheet.
