If you are unable to find someone, make your own. This is from Dr. Randy Holmes Farley:

To make a 35 ppt seawater standard for conductivity, you make a 3.29 weight percent sodium chloride solution.
To make a 3.29 weight percent sodium chloride solution, dissolve 6.20 grams (1 teaspoon) of Morton's Iodized Salt in 182 mL (182 g) of fresh water (making a total volume of about 184 mL after dissolution of the salt). This solution can be scaled up as desired.
Hope this helps.
