Where is the best place to get it? Does someone like Tractor Supply sell it? Any tips on spraying it? I've got a huge area to spray...

Don't spray it over centipede even though it says you can. It will stunt it and yellow it

What are you trying to kill it in? Pasture, lawn, etc.? Metsulfuron, as has been suggested, is one of the better choices, depending on your situation. Also, down in your neck of the woods there is both Pensacola and Argentine bahiagrass. Argentine is much harder to control and does not respond as well to herbicide application as Pensacola does.
If you do the things you need to do when you need to do them then someday you can do the things you want to do when you want to do them.

It's at our church.... I keep all the grass cut (for free) and within a week the Bahia is a foot tall...if I could eliminate it, I would only have to cut once every 2 weeks...each cut takes 2-1/2 hours and it is killing me....so I'm wanting to kill the Bahia without killing everything else

What is the base grass?
You will want to get some Manor or MSMturf. I would not put on more than 0.25 oz/A if it is in centipede or St. Augustine. Add in 0.25% vol/vol surfactant also. Repeat this in about 4 weeks. You will probably get some yellowing but the other grass will grow out of it. Probably will take several cycles to completely eliminate it.

0.25% v/v means that if you mix up one gallon (3785 mililiters), you would put in 9.46 mililiters of surfactant, or about two teaspoons.
3785 x 0.0025= 9.46
If you do the things you need to do when you need to do them then someday you can do the things you want to do when you want to do them.

Until you have a decent amount of regrowth. The more you get into the plant the better. Wait a few days to mow after treating.
If you do the things you need to do when you need to do them then someday you can do the things you want to do when you want to do them.
