It doesn't exist. It can't be done.

I was briefly excited when I saw this, thinking it was now available. AFAIK it's not available.

You can setup a traditional IRA at Fidelity and pay no fees to buy Treasuries on the secondary market.  Of course you can't buy I-Bonds with this... actually TreasuryDirect should offer an IRA!
