You think places like NIH are going to devote time into making HOCL? No. Unless they need to run highly specific experiment that require low amounts of HOCL, they aren't making bulk. So, no to that answer. I know because I work at NIH and we purchase certain large name producers of it. Especially, for the facility I work in. So, to answer you directly, no.

Also, HOCL's have a short shelf life and can only be kept for 14 - 30 days depending on IC and what it is being used for. More Institutes will only allow it for 14 days because the effectiveness of the compound degrades. Just pour bleach into water at a 1:10 ratio and keep for 3 weeks. It's potency diminishes dramatically and killing bathroom mold becomes tougher.

So, what wikipedia says is correct. And if you read further down on that article from NIH, you will see the lasting effect depending if it is sitting in sunlight verses out of sunlight increases longevity 10 days roughly.

Stability of Solution
Rossi-Fedele et al35 investigated the shelf life of HOCl by being either exposed to or protected from sunlight. When the HOCl solution was exposed to sunlight, the chlorine reduction started on day 4. When it was sheltered from sunlight, the chlorine reduction started after day 14. The half-life increases with decreasing pH owing to the decreasing ratio of OCl–to HOCl.36 The parts per million (ppm) is the concentration of the –OCl, which is the active ingredient and is known as the available free chlorine (AFC) in the solution. HOCl solutions are less stable when exposed to UV radiation, sunlight, or contact with air or when the temperature of the solution is elevated greater than 25°C. HOCl solutions should be stored in cool, dark places, and contact with air should be minimized. The water for fabrication should be water that contains organic and inorganic ion concentrations that are as small as possible.37, 38, 39, 40

Now, ByoPlanet uses electrolyzed water that is done in house, thus the extra step. Amongst other things, it helps prolong the shelf-life of HOCL a little. It's a numbers game and ByoPlanet is the best at doing it.
