Blue do have a plan for an orbital launch vehicle. And seem to be fairly far advanced with developing an engine for it (BE-4 -- also planned for use on ULA's new "Vulcan" launcher) They've got a launch site at CCAFS, and have started building a new factory there as well. I'm a SpaceX fan, and definitely consider them to be ahead at the moment -- but certainly wouldn't write Blue off completely.
