I think it's pretty unfair to say that this facility does not fit within NASAs new side-job of assisting commercial enterprise with vehicle development.
I'm sure that this facility would be useful to lease to aerospace companies such as SpaceX and Armadillo that will want to QA and optimize their second/third stage engines.
This facility could be a pretty huge competitive advantage to US space industry.

Only time can tell if this facility will help with future engine development or not. I don't have any expertise in Space & Aeronautics, but I'd love to hear from anyone in the industry what they think about the completion of this facility.
