Definitely, do that.
But how about another tactic?

Sec. 508 requires the federal government buy accessible software and hardware. Enforce it, especially if you're a government entity or one that is covered by accessibility regulations, such as schools and colleges.

Tell the manufacturers why their products will no longer be purchased, that you'll consider them again in the future if they correct their shortcomings.

This strategy has worked in the past with other manufacturers in the industry.
