No. In general, a manufacturer can sell to whomever it wishes, to the exclusion of others. While the antitrust laws generally protect consumers and competition, they do not protect competitors and thus you have no particular right to sue to continue your source of supply. Any result in a case like this also depends on how much market power the manufacturer has, which is information you do not supply.
