Default pear pollen availability

I have a Comice pear tree that, after seven years,
finally is producing some flowers. I've found
conflicting evidence regarding its fertility. Most
sources say that Comice is not self-fruitful, but one
(http://homeorchard.ucdavis.edu/general-pollination.html)
says it is self-fruitful in California (but not in the
Pacific northwest.) I'd like to find a small amount of
pear pollen to apply myself. Does anyone know where
this might be available in southern California?
