The Department of the Navy (DON) received a proposal from the Alliance for Creative Innovation (ACI) on an unsolicited basis. DON is still assessing the validity of the proposal in accordance with the FAR. ACI is proposing to perform a critical assessment of current Navy recruiting tactics and provide new perspectives and approaches to the promotion of Navy recruiting.
