The XA100 ground demonstrator engine may have completed its contracted testing (although you are making that assumption from this GE video that says it has completed three rounds of testing), but the engine is a long way from production. It still needs to go through Engineering & Manufacturing Development (EMD) before it is ready for production, if it is chosen to proceed. F-35 has to chose to move forward with AETP, and the A100 has to beat the P&W A101 via a competitive RFP and contract award.
