Default TPMS date stamp question please

I know this has come up before?(sorta) but can anyone tell me a place which sells "fresh" dated GM/ACDelco TPMS sensors?...all I can find after calling lots of places are date codes of 2012 to 2015. I know they are good for 7-10 years but I know somewhere someone sells ACDelco/GM sensors that are within 6 months "fresh"...thanks for your help

When I replaced mine I was told that Schrader was the GM supplier. That’s what I replaced mine with.

Being told that the sensors will last 7 to 10 years. How many were removed even that they still functioned. Last spring I removed sensors that still worked that were stamped 97. So the life expectancy may be more with miles than age. That being said I don’t see why you can’t find fresher ones. Someone may know more about the supply.

Bought mine off amazon. They were somewhere around 8-12 months old at the time, which is fine for an expected lifetime of damn near a decade.
