I have unfortunately seen this before and I don't think you will be sucessful in trying to force them to sell to you.
What you described sounds like unfair competition and if your competitor is spreading falsehoods about you to effct this you may have a claim against them, but companies are allowed to set up 'authorized dealers". By defiintion, if someone is "authorized" that means others are not.
