I'm trying to locate (in the US) a *grounded* (i.e.3-prong) plug in

I've got a standard 15amp outlet that I have an appliance that I need

Leviton make a non-grounded version (2-prong in, and 2-prong out),
but I need it to be grounded.
Any ideas?
This what you mean?

I beleive It is against the NEC to have the grounded and grounding
conductors switched.
I think the OP is asking about an *inline* switch in a cordset (plug &
outlet), so they can put it between the outlet and appliance to switch
it on & off.
But while what you suggested isn't what they asked for, it should work,
so long as they only need one outlet in the box (or on that side of a
double box).
My guess is the OP wants a plug-in cube kinda like a grounding adapter
that has a switch built into it. (Haven't seen one.)
I've seen them for two prongs but not for three. I use a couple,
including to turn the power off to my scanner, which I almost never
use.
