Yes.
For the most recent list, check here:
https://www.hrc.army.mil/site/Active/TAGD/awards/Unit_Awards/unit_awards.htm
Unit Awards have been listed up to 1962 here:

and 1962-1988 here:
http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/p672_3.pdf
Since the last register was published in 1988, you must refer to the Department of Army General Orders (DAGO) located on the Army Publishing Directorates (APD) website for awards after the period. http://www.usapa.army.mil/. If you do a search for "DAGO," all the DAGOs will appear for review. Any DAGO with the title equivalent to "AWARDS" should be reviewed.

Does your meritorious unit commendation transfer to the army from the navy?
Navy Meritorious Unit Commendations do follow you to other branches. They are considered permanent awards from all branches, except the Army. Unit Commendations from the Army may not follow you to other branches, or even other units. As long as you were serving in the unit when the commendation was earned, it is a permanent award that you can wear on your uniform regardless of service. Otherwise, the wear of any unit award is only worn when you are actually assigned to that unit (temporary award).
Who rates Navy Unit Commendation for Recruiting?
The Navy Unit Commendation Medal (I myself have been privileged to receive it) is the Silver Star equivalent award for a Navy or Marine Corps Unit. Established by then Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal in 1944, the NUC is awarded to "any ship, aircraft, detachment, or other unit of the United States Navy or Marine Corps which has since 6 December 1941 distinguished itself in action against the enemy with outstanding heroism but not sufficient to justify award of the Presidential Unit Citation (United States). To justify this award, the unit must have performed service of a character comparable to that which would merit the award of a Silver Star Medal, or achievement of like caliber in a non-combat situation, to an individual. It is also awarded for non-combat service, in support of military operations, which was outstanding when compared to other units or organizations performing similar service."It is highly unlikely that a NUC would be awarded for any recruiting assignment - however, it would be normal for an individual to receive the Navy Achievement Medal, or in the case of a unit, the Meritorious Unit Commendation (MUC), which I also have. The MUC is typically awarded for excellence in non-combat situations. The NUC is typically reserved for units engaged in combat or hazardous operations meeting the criteria.The criteria does however leave open the possibility of a NUC award to a support unit like a Recruiting Command ("support of military operations, which was outstanding when compared to other units or organizations performing similar service"), so it is possible. To receive it though, the unit would have to literally out-perform all other recruiting units by a significant margin, and in today's recruiting climate (when unemployment is high people tend to look for government / military jobs) Recruiters are actually turning people away, since they can pick from the best applicants.
