By NASA contract, there is: Blue Origin's Blue Moon lander is contracted to fly on Artemis V. The company is planning to fly a prototype of the lander to the moon as soon as later this year.
That said, I wouldn't count out SpaceX just yet.

Whenever I watch this launched it reminds me of the Soviet N-1. Strangely, this test program is mirroring that rocket exactly.
