For rookie only, perhaps FIRST ordered full bolts and did their own cutting/folding for a the smaller number of rookies.

Its definitely possible. It just seems unlikely, to me, that FIRST would choose to give the items for the bumpers, given the fact that all of the items involved in making them are easily accessible to teams. Why give the items when FIRST can just say that a specific cloth is required for use on the bumpers.
