Tamron stopped making the 18-250 months ago, so that's why Pentax can no longer sell their re-badged version. Tamron discontinued the 18-250 to replace it with the 18-270, but tht's not availabe in Pentax mount yet. Might be at some point, or might not. If you have trouble finding a Pentax/Tamron 18-250 (shouldn't be *that* hard, though), you could get the Sigma version instead.
