Lots of them, if lowest price isn't the issue.

Simply get a bid that excludes "Made in China" material.

You're not kidding. The only game in my town that I've found so far
wants $90+ for a sheet of US birch plywood.

Some 20 years ago I needed a couple of lifts of walnut veneer on
particle board for a loudspeaker project..
Pre-internet, on the phone for a couple of days---- best price Sault
St Marie Michigan. Including freight, brokerage, exchange, it was the
best deal by 15%. The stuff shows up with Made In Canada stamped all
over it. A genuine WTF moment.
