Where to buy 3"ID teflon pipe?

Looking for a resource to purchase 3"ID Teflon pipe with 1/4" wall. Any surplus locations or good deals anywhere?

Teflon in this shape and size is somewhat expensive. I could only find 3" ID with a 1/2" wall thickness so it will have to be machined to 3.5"OD. What's the application if I may ask?

At one time a company I worked for had some VERY thick teflon tape. Might be available through surplus outlets or some supplier. Not an ideal fix, but several bands inside a tube might support the load unless ultra precision positioning is required.

FWIW,
