Viracon is the manufacturer, find out what type of glazing it is, you can price same for material, though they are a large MFR, to get one piece, could be weeks or months, I used to deal with them all the time. Replacing glazing can be involved, and you risk breaking the new piece, you also have to safely take apart the glazing stops and remove the broken glazing safely, I've done extensive work in the metal and glass industry, we used to purchase trailer loads from Viracon and used to specify their products in our custom metal windows for commercial buildings.
I've replaced glass on new jobs many times and often times for 1 piece the price was $10,000, 7-8 years ago. We always ordered a spare on these high dollar repairs in case of breakage, never happened, I always turned the spare over to the building owner for attic stock. Often times commercial buildings will be supplied with attic stock (spares) maybe they have some on hand.
I would imagine without knowing the glazing type, to get that one piece from Viracon is easily $500+, then add labor, to remove, replace, insurance, tax, profit and overhead, that price may not be far off, thing is, if they want Viracon to provide the same exact glazing, they are not cheap, they manufacture high quality material.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
