If you can't find it at Rutherford, I don't think you'll find it.  You
might want to explore some options with their technical support people
concerning the "6 series" locks that have a "keeper switch" you could
use to de-energize the strike and keep it open until the dead-bolt pulls
it back in when the door closes.  Unfortunately if someone manually
moves to strike plate back to the locked position, the strike will
re-energize and the dead bolt will keep the door from closing.  I don't
know of any door strike that will do what you want.
