You needn't go to the dealer. You can buy the sensors alone and have any shop you trust remove the tires, install the sensors, and remount and balance the tires.

A set of sensors will cost about $170, plus the cost to remount the tires. This may save you a few bucks.
Any idea how I would find the part nbr. for the sensors?

You could browse through realoem.com, but it may be too new a model for its database.

Tirerack may sell them without wheels.

You could also look at purchasing the parts only from the dealer.

I just had to do this with aftermarket rims on my GT500 and the wheel company simply got them from Ford and installed them prior to mounting the tires. Cost was about an extra $120.00 for all 4 sensors/bands/mounting, etc.
