There is of course the (quite awesome) HackRF[1] which will eventually be
sold for roughly $300 (not sure what the price break for 100 units might
be). That being said, it's still in beta and there aren't anywhere near
100 units available at the moment. You might be able to get in touch
with mossmann (CC'd) to see if you could use his production contacts to
do a small production run.

Cheers,
