Explanation:
This way the sentence sounds more imperative, under all circumstances.

must always be available

Explanation:
However, grammatically Mirelluk is correct and has given you the answer you were looking for. I enter this answer for questions of clarity. There are occasions when "any given time" makes sense, but if a supply must always be in stock, why not state it clearly?
