That it offers all this extra capability that isnt officially a part of any requirement is one thing, but at what cost is completely another. The contract is more likely to come down to cost with adjustments made for better performance. Currently, none of those adjustments cover the weaponization aspects for future needs and this is unlikely to emerge. The question then becomes: Can Lockheed stay competitive within the realms of the RFP and still offer all this added capability that while not requested for, is still beneficial? I guess same applies to to the Raytheon proposal.
