Having non police officers do it and not requesting they do something illegal means it isnt iirc. In fact, I think a police officer could do the same. For it to be entrapment, a police officer has to request someone to do something illegal - and in some circumstances have it be something they otherwise wouldnt normally do, as far as Im aware - for all entrapment scenarios. They also dont have to say theyre a cop.
