ULA doesn't actually build rockets does it? do lockheed and boeing build/assemble deltas and atlases, then transfer them to ULA?

Yes they do build rockets, the whole reason it was founded was so they could build their rockets in a single facility and save money

ULA is a joint venture of Boeing and Lockheed Martin
They basically had a monopoly on launches for the US government until SpaceX came along
And Blue Origin is something that was founded by Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon
But they still haven't built a proper launch vehicle yet because they're fucking inept and fucking stupid

Also, Boeing and Lockheed Martin have had a monopoly on building stuff for NASA for a very long time
They both built the Space Shuttle (along with another company who made the two side boosters)
So they've basically been exclusive contractors for space stuff for fucking ages. They united their rocket businesses into the jointly-owned ULA in 2006. And now ULA builds and launches Delta rockets which were designed by Boeing, and Atlas rockets which were designed by Lockheed Martin
