• Notes: Important considerations include the allowability of labor overhead (FAR 31.205-6(m)), the definition of G&A (General and Administrative Costs), and guidance on using subcontractor cost breakdowns versus the total subcontracting amount.

This worksheet is crucial for bidders to understand and demonstrate compliance with the Limitation on Subcontracting clause.
