The only bass clarinet stand that I've ever seen is made by Koenie & Meyer. You can find it in the Woodwind Catalog which is online at http://www.wwandbw.com.
Two thoughts, though.
In college, I used a manhasset music stand with the top removed. I placed an s-hook made from strong coathanger in the top of the shaft, and it hooked under the neck of the bass clarinet. This worked pretty well for a nice calm atmosphere like a college orchestra. I recommend it if you're using a floor peg. If you're using a neckstrap, it might not hurt to put a rubber foot on the bottom of the bell to keep the horn from sliding.
Though I never tried it, I've also thought that it would be interesting to try and use a guitar stand. If you could fashion a fabric sling across the bottom horseshoe to hold the bell, the body of the instrument could rest in the top horseshoe. This would only work if you were using a neckstrap rather than a floor peg with the instrument. (A guitar stand must bear the enter weight of the instrument in order to be anchored on the floor)
When I got a bass clarinet of my own, I considered these three options...and shelled out for a nice K&M stand!
