I cannot find any for sale or exporters that have any for sale.  My research indicates there are none of these under cultivation.  Best chance of obtaining these are in the several areas where they grow wild.  Source: see wikipedia - velvet tamarind.

Vendors sold these at sporting events many years ago when I was in Thailand for a short time.

I am in Washington DC, but I am willing to buy it from anywhere in the USA (shipped to me or something).
I am not looking for tamarind, I am looking for velvet tamarind (as in the picture above). They are different. :)
Since the origin is Asia, I'd still think those people are correct when they suggest an Indian, Asian, or Mexican store. (Indian being India and not native Americans)
