Accessibility Reports for acquisition managers?

Hello,
I'm wondering if there is any kind of report or scoring mechanism other
than WCAG As I can ask vendors to provide me while searching for software
to purchace for our company?
I'm wasting a whole lot of time reviewing interfaces that are not
accessible in critical ways with my screen reader and I would like to just
ask for an accessibility report that says "This company has reviewed their
web interface and it is n level of accessible" or something like that?
I'm thinking of just requiring all our software to be WCAG AA before I will
look at it, but I don't think it is easy to rank a website as WCAG AA or
AAA.
Especially for elastic markets for software like PSAs, HR, timekeeping,
CRMs, password safes, cloud storage, accounting, and stuff like that, I
would like a way to just canvas as many companies as possible and ask them
for an accessibility report, then I can look at the ones who actually
respond. I don't want to spend hours going through an accounting software
just to find that the reports screen is not accessible.
Is there anything like this?
Thank you,
