We don't keep those RPMS, but you can build the RPMs by yourself.

ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v9.3.6/

are the sources, and

http://people.planetpostgresql.org/devrim/index.php?/archives/44-How-To
-Build-Your-Own-PostgreSQL-and-related-software-RPMs-on
-CentOSRHELFedora.html

is the guide.

I cringe when I see requirements like this. did they also 'certify'
this applicaiton to only run on whatever was the day's snapshot build of
the OS, such that any newer security updates and bug fixes can't be
applied to RHEL 6 ?

specific to 9.3.6, you'd be missing out on the fixes ...

​We have a few products like that here. One of our Windows servers is
"stabilized" in that it cannot be patched or upgraded because a single
piece of critical software is running on it which is not only certified
only on that particular release / patch, but actually fails on more up to
date servers. In addition, it is "abandon-ware"​ in that that original
company is defunct. Oh, and it cannot be replaced because that part of the
business is being eliminated, so this is only for "historical" clients, who
will be gone by the end of this year. At least, in that, we do have a hard
time limit and then the software / machine will be junked.

The above may be why, at least historically, businesses have like Windows.
With Windows there is "one true way". _Their_ way. I would say more, but
that would become too political.

Yes they do :), they certify centos 6.5 stock, without updates \o/
We are going to update, just when we call the support we will have to prove
that it's there app that is buggy, not all the (minor) updates ...

Having old rpm can also be useful to build new dev env in sync with
production env (when you update slowly)
