OEM relay source

Where can I find new Ford relays for the power distribution box under the hood? I want to replace them due to age and a code for "fuel pump primary circuit".

If Ford relays are unavailable, what's a good aftermarket brand?

I think it is "primary circuit failure", but not sure. I've looked up part number, but cannot find Ford replacements.

They've been NLA from Ford for years. It's a constant source of frustration.

Nice to know those are still available. They don't cover the EEC and Fuel Pump Relay on the late bullnoses and early bricknoses though. Just poking around, it looks like that's covered by Motorcraft DY868, which you can still get on wholesaler closeout from rockauto, or on ebay, but otherwise it's the same offerings from Standard and the usual suspects.
