Availability of linear CCD arrays?

Hi - I'm looking at the feasibility of a project that would use a
linear CCD array combined with a laser to do some fairly simple
distance measurement. Only problem is this: I can't find any linear
CCD arrays that I can actually purchase! Oh sure - plenty of companies
make nice looking ones - but they don't sell them unless I want to buy
a million of em. Where can I find these buggers? I'm not fond of
pulling them from other devices as if I ever did want to bring these
into production, that would not exactly be economical.

Thanks!

As with the WWVB receiver module from another thread this gets expensive
unless you either part them out of obsolete equipment such as faxes and
scanners, or buy gazillions. Scroll to about the middle here:
