Anyone have any idea where I can find this in Baton Rouge? I’m going to need about 200 feet.

Why do you need CAT6A?

Cat 5e or Cat 6 is sufficient. Cat 6a is going to be 10 times faster than your ISP is going to provide on its best day to your home (presuming you're going for a 1Gb connection). Both Cat 5e and Cat 6 can support that.
Now if you can get Cat 6a at about the same cost, then sure - go ahead and have the better stuff in your place. It just might be a while before you get the opportunity to see it in action.

Huge proponent of overkill here.
I installed cat6a because I got it at roughly the same cost as 5e and thought I'd eventually end up with a distributed video system and wanted to prepare for the future.
OP, Make sure you understand this chart:
This is plenum stuff, so not exactly correct but a rough idea. In a 1" top plate hole, you'll fit 4-5 Cat6a. You could probably get 10-12 unshielded cat5e in there.
Had I known this ahead of time, I probably would have sprung for Cat5e. I actually still have about 3 runs that I'll do this for. But I'll be adding a camera system soon and will pretty likely use Cat5e instead of 6a just because of how big the stuff is.
