If you are a Starfinder Society character, you can buy anything in the Core Rulebook up to your level +1. Barring a few banned items, you can buy anything from a supplement (like Alien Archives or Pact Worlds) at your Level +0. Anything on a session sheet can be purchased up to your Level +2.
If you aren't a Society character, you can buy anything up to Level +1 in a reasonable settlement, or Level +2 at Absolom Station or another major consumer hub. As anything, this is subject to the GM's approval.

Where Does it state that +2 for adsolom station at because i would like to know? For reasons.
Core Rules, pg 167, under 'Item Level'
(Note that this is NOT for SF Society play - its just a general guideline)
"Rather than meticulously track every arms dealer, contact,
guild, and license a character has access to, the game assumes
that in typical settlements you can find and purchase anything
with an item level no greater than your character level + 1, and at
major settlements items up to your character level + 2. The GM
can restrict access to some items (even those of an appropriate
level) or make items of a higher level available for purchase
(possibly at a greatly increased price or in return for a favor done
for the seller)."
