I feel your procurement pain. For a brief moment, I had a mobile test automation gig. I found a device specific bug, and we only had one unit of that device. The device was inexpensive and easy to procure. But I had to make the case about why I needed to procure another device for fault isolation purposes, and doing so was not a trivial process. It kind of felt like a someone in accounts payable having to explain the need to buy more checks. I left soon after that.
