Would it be acceptable for me to qualify my wife annually to meet the LEOSA requirements?

I would expect that if they allow private testing, there is some sort of "approved instructor list" of non-agency people acceptable for LEOSA qualifications. I suggest checking with whoever is the agency responsible for LEOSA in your new state.
In AZ, for example, the Dept of Public Safety (DPS) publishes the application, issues a card similar to the AZ CCW permit and has a list of approved instructors on their web site. OTOH, Colorado does the same by each county instead.
