Xoie has the deltaV for a moon orbit to lunar surface landing, but the systems are not space rated. Masten Space Systems is developing VTVL rockets for sub-orbital science payloads. The funding is all private.

Outstanding effort by Dave and his team !!
Gee, how much did this cost the taxpayers?

Actually the cos associated with the NGLLC to NASA and the taxpayers is nothing. Teams have to fund themselves as does the X-Prize Foundation. Taxpayers only are on the hook if someone wins one of the competition levels. And the max prize to be distributed is $2 million. Considering what you get for the $2 mil it's well worth it.
