Sliding Door Hardware.

I am installing eight foot pocket doors and seven foot closet doors
and am using www.johnsonhardware.com kits for doors and find them very
strong and far superior to what you will find n Home Depot or any
lumber yard. You can order from them direct.

Their web site has a "Where to buy" section.

Used to be that you could get nice, grooved brass tracks for the
bottoms of sliding/pocket doors but I haven't seen any in years.
Truth be told, they were a pain because crud always got packed into
the tracks. Nowadays, the doors are kept from swinging by using a
simple little nylon "U".

You might check with your local lumber yard to see what they have.
If they don't carry what you need they can probably order something
for you.
I'm not sure what you need. If you need bipass hardware or pocket
door hardware it should be easily available. Make sure that the specs
meet the weight requirements of your door/s. Most makers have a heavy
duty line that will handle about anything.
For bipass hardware, I've never used any that had a bottom roller
system but most have a bottom track that a plastic guide rides in just
to keep the doors from swaying in the hole. The weight of the doors
still hangs from the upper track.
As far as brands go, I've only used Stanley and Johnson.
Johnson seems to have heavier tracks and better rollers.

Rockler and Home Depot both has sliding door hardware. Don't know if they
will have what you are looking for. Give them a try.
