Enabling Bulk Orders in the Service Catalog for only some items

I'm currently working on building out several offerings for a Service Catalog.   As we've been moving along the project, it has become clear that we have two clear classes of items/systems access that people are going to be requesting.   The first is individualized one-offs that we have very specifically generated forms for.   The second is bulk requests for generalized access to certain systems or items.   Bulk ordering in the Service Catalog would be fantastic to use for the second, as we often have requests that are identical except for the requested for person for up to 50 different people at a time.   However, we can not enable bulk ordering on EVERYTHING because of the first category of individualized one-off requests.

With this in mind, how could I 'enable' bulk ordering for some items in the service catalog, and not for others?   If 'disabling' bulk ordering means some script somewhere that just removes the bulk order section view from the checkout, if it's on certain items, then that's fine. (Although ideally we would be able to place this script somewhere that we could identify the items it was active on in the script, and not on every individual item we didn't want bulk ordering for, since we have a large number of items.)   Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

!Attached are the script include and ui page.   you'll probably had to rewrite them to your purposes, but it's what we used until we went to service portal.
