CD copies of 3.6 and 3.9 are still available for purchase from Computer
Shop of Calgary but there is an issue with their web site so you'll need
to email cshop (at) computershop.ca to place an order.
If you want to see a list of what's for sale, archive.org has that page:

I ordered a couple of old versions myself in December to fill some gaps
in my collection, so I can confirm that purchases are still possible. There
is some shipping delay due to the pandemic of course, so in the short term
get a copy from one of the archives that still has it.
In the long term, if your organization is depending on those versions then
you should have physical copies that you can keep yourself. You cannot
rely on archives having old releases forever. This is especially true for
packages -- even ftp.nluug.nl no longer has a complete package archive
for releases 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3. I haven't found a complete package
archive for 3.0 anywhere.
