Down here in Arkansas, my local crusher is Riceland Foods. They are the supplier of VO for a whole lot of industries. Last time I checked with them, the smallest amount they could supply was a 300 gal. pallet tank. Problem is, everything they make is food grade, and cost is too much. I just made a 400 gal. batch using wvo bought from the local company that picks it up at restaurants, etc. They filter it, and remove the water, but the quality was very bad. High free fatty acid. I used the 2 step acid/base process and it turned out fine.
If you are looking for new oil, search soybean oil, or other sites such as Riceland foods. If you want to get some wvo, call the number on the tank behind you local restaurant and start there.
