Transmode <http://www.transmode.com> has both 1.25Ghz and 2.5Ghz units
with where you pretty much can pick and choose your optics from 850nm MM,
1310, 1510, 1530, 1550 and 1570nm when you order. This is not a complete
ITU grid from what I can find (I don't know exactly what ITU grid is but I
found some specs) but rather for CWDM use.

There should be quite a few manufacturers making units like these, I know 
the MRV people does it as well (or some company within MRV).
