I really am not familiar with your legislative but it is a bit surprising to me that seed of a local/native species is not readily available in Arizona. Are there no specialized nurseries which grow them to produce seed?
I can give you a link to a reliable cacti seed dealership in EU which have 15 species/subspecies/varieties of Navajoa/Pediocactus peeblesiana at reasonable prices (about 7€/10 seeds), but since it's a CITES I listed species you would be obliged to pay for phytosanitary certificate and a CITES permit which is additional 118€ or 129$ + shipping costs.
