          improperly evaluated its proposal.

          We sustain the protest.

          The RFP sought proposals to supply the Army and Air Force with berets of various
          colors, including black. With regard to black berets, the RFP contemplated the
          award of a fixed-price contract for a 2-year base period, with three 1-year options,
          encompassing 3,643,488 units. Proposals were to be evaluated on the basis of five
