Do they even have a plan for an orbital test flight?

In the end they will have to launch their lander on Starship

This year, they do seem to be finally ramping up production of New Glenn hardware, but no launch date or mission details have been announced yet.

Next Spaceflight has a placeholder NET date of 2024 June: https://nextspaceflight.com/launches/details/4716

In other news, New Shepherd should return to flight with NS-24 in the next month or two, following the failure of NS-23 in September 2022: https://nextspaceflight.com/launches/details/7302
