NASA is already doing resupply missions to easily-accessible orbits [1] and they have previous spin-offs less customized to repair/replace but capable nonetheless e.g. X-37/X-40
It is fully within the realm of possibility that a future OSAM mission will be capable of hitting far more distant points, since the Lunar stuff is just starting to heat up.
