Types of documents that must be accessible

For any government contracted work, apart from documents presented to the public over the web, would 508 accessibility requirements apply to other documents prepared in the course of executing the contract? I have in mind documents that government overseers of contracts might want to be given, whether for oversight and auditing purposes or for archival purposes.
Examples include summaries of planning calls and teleconferences by the developers with or without government personnel. Do these summaries, often shared in emails, need to be 508 compliant?
Does this depend on the specific federal (or state or other) agency? On the specific contract for the project in question?
In any even what is the usual practice today?


Thanks,
