Presumably contracted partner in this case means like Skywest or something but it’s certainly vague enough.
Badly worded, yes, but presumably it's the same list of partners listed under MP's airline partners page, and Eurowings is listed as a partner.

*A and UA lounge access rules are based on operating carrier, not marketing carrier.
