Yeah of course, SpaceX would be stupid to not use the resources NASA will make available for them. Honestly, NASA would probably much rather be out of the business of building rockets, so they can focus on the next generation of space experiments. The less money NASA has to spend on hauling stuff into space, the more they can spend on what they put up there.

NASA has never been in the business of building tickets. Mercury went up on Army's Redstone, Gemini on Air Force Titan. Routine launches are on ICBM-derived Atlas and Titan.

Boeing and Douglas built Saturn V, Rockwell built the shuttle orbiter.

SpaceX leases the launch pad and Eastern Range, but those are paid either on a yearly basis, or per use. The NASA/DoD personnel that support the launch are getting paid whether there's a launch or not, because they're needed for any launch from the Cape.

Some are meant to teach, others are meant to do.

NASA and their bureaucracy have been sliding out of the "do" category for some time.

They’ve been doing plenty, but it’s all in unmanned missions.

Furthermore, NASA has always relied heavily on the aerospace/defense industry and related organizations to design and build spacecraft.
