          DIGEST

          Protest that agency misevaluated cost proposals is sustained where agency failed to
          use higher of numerous inconsistent proposed rates in calculating awardee's
          proposed total evaluated price, as expressly provided by solicitation, such that
          source selection decision was based on consideration of materially understated
          differential between protester's and awardee's evaluated prices.
          DECISION

          General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) protests the award of a contract
          to Raytheon Technical Services Company (RTSC) under request for proposals (RFP)
          No. N61339-06-R-0019, issued by the Department of the Navy for warfighter field
          operations customer support services. GDIT maintains that the agency misevaluated
          proposals and made an unreasonable source selection decision.

          We sustain the protest.
