I personally think that it is the list of items per field because the 6 DC power supplies and the 6 Ethernet/IP armor blocks, are things that I think I have seen inside of the scoring IOs / SCCs (particularly the Ethernet/IP armor blocks). Last year there were three of those Ethernet/IP armor blocks per alliance (one for team lights & stop buttons on the SCC, and one per scoring IO, of which there were two per side).

My impression is that this is the total list of parts that Rockwell is donating to FIRST this year. It includes KoP items, as others have pointed out. It includes game-specific field elements, like the sensors others have discussed. And it includes items for the new fields FIRST is building (per
Bill's Blog, there are two new fields this year, bringing the total to 19) - those new fields will require all new electronics, like the DC power supplies and Ethernet Blocks you've pointed out.
