I tried to find the LaunchPad in the cataloges of our suppliers, but could not find it anymore.

What do you mean you cannot get MSP-EXP432E401Y LaunchPad? You can order the LaunchPad from the product website at https://www.ti.com/tool/MSP-EXP432E401Y.

Is the an alternative board from TI available that I can run the TPS92682EVM-069?

I'm not familiar with TPS product but according to its product description, the LaunchPad is used to control/program the TPS's voltage via the UART interface. Therefore, in theory any MCU with a UART port can be used. However, the GUI tool is designed specifically for MSP-EXP432E401Y. This means other boards will not work without porting the GUI to an alternative LaunchPad. Please order the MSP-EXP432E401Y LaunchPad from its product webpage so you can run the demo out of box. If you have additional questions concerning the TPS92682EVM-069 evaluation board, I will forward your post to the appropriate experts. 

The TPS92682EVM-069 features a two phase, constant voltage boost regulator based on the TPS92682 dual channel controller with SPI interface device. It is designed to operate with an input voltage from 6V to 42V and total power output of 90W with max output voltage 60V. The EVM may support maximum input power of 100W. The EVM can provide maximum output current of 1.6A/CH.  The output voltage is programmable via a serial interface such as the MSP-EXP432E401Y MCU LaunchPad Development Kit. The TPS92682 Evaluation Software package provides a computer-based GUI allowing the user to control the output voltage, and monitor the fault reporting features.
