I'm afraid it's a bit of a non standard size that. In steel stockholding circles its known as rectangular(rolled) hollow section (RHS) You
could make it up out of, say 50x25 plus a 25x25 or use channels or angles but it will mean welding and expense, I would use what's standard and
adapt the job accordingly.
Here's a list of RHS from my local stockholders:
LINKY
and square sections:
LINKY
That's not to say someone may not have some ...it'll just be harder to find and more costly.

I would be very suprised if you could find that off the the shelf.
Another way to make it would be to press up a channel and close it with a flat plate welded on. Or 2 "L" sections

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.
