What is the ruling on working as a consultant for a company that promotes its products and opens new markets for them, knowing that the company is a supplier to the entity where the consultant works, and that the managers are aware of his work on external committees but do not know that he receives payment for it?
If your additional work does not compromise your primary work duties and does not involve cheating or deception, then there is no harm in it.
