No and yes. BBs with replaceable cartridge bearings aren't that common, it'd surprise me if your average shop would have them at hand. I'd try an industrial supply place instead.
If the bearings are the most common kind, with balls that run in grooves, you need to take some care at assembly, as those don't like axial loads much. Get the preload wrong and it'll wear out in no time.
