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.

that's what the paper label says ...Schrader Electronics Made in UK Pat Pending....but did you look at the stamped date code? that's what I was asking about ...the date code freshness ... not the GM supplier's name
