IMHO, no. NASA would expect the winner to be ready to start bringing cargo
soon after the bid is awarded. That would mean that the winner would have
to have a system in place, or nearly so, already. That will mean it will
have to be a non reusable system,, probably unmanned, and that isn't where
he is headed.

Reusable or not, by bet is that the winner will be unmanned. Just my
guesses.
