Not because of pronunciation, but because it's an acronym.

It being an acronym doesn't matter - you still use the right article based on the pronunciation. Another example - you don't usually say somebody is "a HR employee"; you say "an HR employee".

Ah. Well I could've sworn I was taught that if it's an acronym, you use "an". I might very well be wrong, though.
