If you are interested in acquiring hardware, contact jason.harvey@avnet.com for the VCU1525, or Christian Robichaud of Bittware, for the Bittware XUPP3R-VU9P (crobichaud@bittware.com).  Tell them you were referred by Zetheron Technology and you want the cards for crypto-mining and they can expedite the lead time, which is currently around 4 weeks.  The intro price (at Avnet) on the VCU1525 is $3995 USD, but it will be going up to around $5K in July.

Initially I tried contacting avnet to order a board to two to play with but am getting nowhere.  I signed their export agreement and every couple of days ask what I need to do to order the hardware but never get an answer to the question. 

Same here, no response after signing the agreement. Maybe they are swamped..

I work with Avnet all the time, sadly this is normal. Hardware the backside  doesn’t move at consumer pace, very slowly. Also lead times are a few weeks now.
