You can always get the D'A 5-string set and add a single .035.

The Warwicks are normal acoustic bass guitar strings (phosphor bronze roundwounds), with no nylon involved.Thomastik AB346 (round-wound)

If they predict such 6-string packs mainly just sitting on shelves unsold, they won't bother making them in the first place. A 5-string set will serve both fiver players and six-string bassists who resolve to get single C strings to complete it, and an easily available high C single will be useful to both sixer-players and EADGC 5-string players who will couple it to a regular four-string set. The subset of potential buyers who'll refuse to do the separate purchase, and will look elsewhere out of principle, is deemed negligible compared to the cost of making a 6-string pack that will sell very little.Can’t help but wonder why they don’t sell 6-string packs if they have a C string and 5 string sets?
