Teachers, for example, do "Parent's night" and such extra duties.

Without more context, I don't think even our legal experts could provide a direct answer.
I have one example: as part of customer outreach, my staff & I would provide technical consulting & assistance to customers having production or product quality issues.
That assistance, however, was not included in the supply contracts. In fact, no mention of direct technical assistance was made.
So, any technical support from our company to a customer would be non-contractual. We may do it, but we were not legally obligated to provide it.

...I had a related experience with this.
My Medicare supplemental is BCBS. They do not have a national contract with CVS.
At the time, CVS was the only pharmacy in town, and BCBS said they didn't cover any non-contractual prescriptions, more than once, for one med, for 30 days. After that I'd have to find a pharmacy with a national contract.
The mail order company I tried was a CF, so I went to a different town for a Walgreens.
Fortunately, a pharmacist who lives in town opened a dinky prescription shop that agreed to take a contract for whatever BCBS pays.
He got 800 customers switching pharmacies in the first 6 months. So, it worked out for everybody.
But, that might be similar to what they mean. A provider to you might be covered one time non-contractually, but not after that.
Just a guess, based upon what happened to me.
