Default Vehicle safety partition for mid-size SUV?

The company I work for is looking to standardize their service vehicle fleet; instead of a broad range of vehicles, we want to narrow it down to a select few.
The problem I am running into is that we would like to offer the option of a mid-size SUV for areas of the country that see a fair amount of snow in the winter. We would still use these as service vehicles which means they'd have to carry some service parts. That's where I am running into a problem; it seems that no one makes a safety partition for an SUV. At least not one intended to protect one from this type of cargo.
Sure I can find the spring loaded things that fit behind the second row of seats and it intended to keep Fido in the cargo area but, nothing for what we'd be carrying.

We'd be looking for a partition that would mount directly behind the driver / passenger seat which would allow us to fold down the rear seats and utilize the entire cargo space.

Does anyone have any suggestions where I might find something like this or any other suggestions for a AWD / 4WD service vehicle (mid-size).

You might want to try a truck service body builder in your area. They can probably design and build one that would bolt down to seat or seatbelt/shoulderbelt anchors, and possibly be in a 2 piece bolt together configuration for ease of shipping.
I googled cargo barriers, and got a ton of results in Australia and New Zealand. but not many stateside. I think they have pretty strict motor vehicle codes for that kind of thing, hence the number of manufacturers.

You may want to check a law enforcement supplier -- now days there are many Tahoes (example) used by LEs that have a barrier just in behind the front seats. TAZ

+1. Check with MHQ in Marlborough, MA. They outfit most, if not all, the State Troopers vehicles and locals also.
