We study the region of small transverse momenta in qqbar- and gg-initiated processes with no colored particle detected in the final state. We present the universal expression of the O(alpha_s^2) logarithmically enhanced contributions up to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. From there we extract the coefficients that allow the resummation of the large logarithmic contributions. We find that the coefficient known in the literature as B^{(2)} is process dependent, since it receives a hard contamination from the one loop correction to the leading order subprocess. We present the general result of B^{(2)} for both quark and gluon channels. In particular, in the case of Higgs production, this result will be relevant to improve the matching between resummed predictions and fixed order calculations.
