ULA has confirmed it'll be the last launch of the Atlas V Type 551, but they are looking to phase out Atlas entirely in favor of Vulcan. This may very well be the last ever launch of an Atlas Rocket.

This is the last one with a fairing, but there are still 4-6 Atlas V cores booked for Starliner missions.
