Does anyone make a high strength steel wire, with a tensile strength of 2100 to 2600 MPa?

Look for piano wire.

Haven't yet found an authoritative statement about tensile strength - Wikipedia cites 2200-2482 MPa, with a link to http://www.vandaking.com/s-5653-piano-string-treble-wire.html.

Actually tire cord can be in that range, though this link show is higher.

Now you can add to your list /look for manufacturers of tire cord too.
