CEV transport question

So, we have a number of proposals for the NASA CEV request.
The boosters will have to lift more than 20T, based on the last set of CEV
specifications that I have seen.

So, for the lifting body CEV designs - How will NASA transport the CEV from
the factory or landing strip (anywhere in the world) to the desired launch
location?

Options would be(?)

Piggyback on an airplane (e.g. Shuttle and 747 combination)?

Currently available airlift/cargo plane (e.g. C5 galaxy)?

C5 Cargo Compartment: height , 13.5 feet (4.11 meters); width, 19 feet (5.79
meters); length, 143 feet, 9 in (43.8 meters)
Maximum Cargo: 270,000 pounds (122,472 kilograms)
Maximum Takeoff Weight: C-5B 769,000 pounds (348,818 kilograms) (peacetime),
840,000 pounds (381,024 kilograms) (wartime)

Specially built (or modified aircraft for this specific task)?

Assuming CEV ends up being a capsule, this should do
the trick. A C5 would be able to handle anything wide
enough to fit in an EELV-Heavy-class fairing (5.4 meters),
and would certainly be able to haul the dry mass of any
CEV design.
