You could try Industrial chemical suppliers in the yellow pages like EcoLab or Diversey-Lever. Thats where I would start.

Thanks guys,

Purity is a quite different animal than molarity (or the concentration of the acid solution). You might want to find out exactly what concentration you're looking for - since the price will vary greatly with purity and concentration.

H2SO4 is quite dangerous to work with, so be aware of that. It is also very effective at removing water...
