I want to know a word which can be used to indicate that a particular object is ordered 'in large numbers'. The terms like numerous and many do not reflect my stress on numbers. Can anyone suggest a better word?
Example sentence: "Why was this spoon not ordered (suggested word)?"

The phrase you're looking for might be "in bulk".
(My first answer would've been the French phrase en masse, but after checking a couple of online dictionaries, it seems it doesn't mean what I thought it meant... though I'm sure I've heard it used to mean "in bulk".)
