This is what I found out today after spending more hours figuring out what to order. I just placed an order.

Do not try to order the whole assembly, e.g. SY3149-6XX-01T. It will tell you SMC has nothing in stock and they have to ship from Japan which takes 2-3 weeks.

Thanks to Jsasaki who pointed out the link to the SMC site for FIRST teams. It gave me the idea that you have to order the two parts separately. I want SY3140-6XX and only SY3140-6L or SY3140-6LZ are in stock in the US. The other one SY3000-27-1T is available. I don't know if SY3000-27-1T comes with the gasket (goes between the two items) or not. I asked them to check the gasket part number SY3000-11-8 but they can not find it in the catalog. None of the distributor I talked to stock these items. They just place the order to SMC for you.

This is a single solenoid valve 12V system with 1/8" NPT thread with Cv=0.3 which is legal to use for FIRST this year. You can order them from Motion Industries or Fastenal. The price is about the same. I hope this helps.

If you have any questions, I can try to help. Good luck.
