Government contracts are not limited to construction or IT there’s a growing nationwide demand for logistics services. This includes transportation, courier and delivery services, warehousing, dispatching, packaging, fleet management, supply chain support, and other logistics-related solutions. Most businesses don’t realize how much the government depends on vendors to move goods, equipment, and supplies across cities, states, and agencies. I’ve helped companies get properly registered and aligned with federal requirements, and once they understand the process, the volume of opportunity surprises them. With 2026 budgets being planned, logistics will be even more critical. Agencies need reliable partners to ensure timely distribution, emergency preparedness, and smooth operational flow and they cannot handle this alone. The real question isn’t “Are there contracts?”It’s “Will your logistics business be compliant and ready before 2026 spending ramps up?

Hi Logistics Library, this is Prashanth. I've recently identified some pain points in the industry and found that messy emails and D&D charges are making companies bleed. We need a solution, so I've developed an AI automation for email and shipment tracking. I'd be interested in discussing this further here in the Logistics Library.

For anyone in the logistics, trucking, dispatch, courier, or delivery space, government contracting is a huge opportunity many people are overlooking. There are active logistics contracts in multiple states right now, including: • freight transportation • local courier services • warehouse support • medical supply delivery • mail distribution • emergency transport • equipment hauling These contracts are open for small businesses too, not just large companies. Many agencies actually prefer working with small and minority-owned businesses. If anyone is unsure how to find these contracts, what documents are required, or how the bidding process works, feel free to ask. Government contracting can be confusing at first, but it becomes very straightforward with proper guidance.

SAP always displays the last 15 T-Codes you’ve used. Here’s what shows up in my list (minus the duplicates) and a quick summary of what they do and why I use them in day-to-day logistics: VL09 – Cancel Goods Issue - Reverse a GI when something’s shipped or confirmed in error. MB52 – Display Warehouse Stock - Quick check of stock levels by plant/location ZDOTC_DBR – Delivery Report - Returns order details, Billed, Picked, Delivery Created etc. VL06I – List of Inbound Deliveries - Track inbound receipts and GR statuses. VL02N – Change Outbound Delivery - Make corrections or updates before posting goods issue. SQ01 – SAP Query - Custom reports, make friends with IT! This is a powerful T-Code. ZP2P_3PLDEL – 3PL Delivery Creation - Generates outbound deliveries for 3PL fulfilment. Shows all Open orders in SAP. MB51 – Material Document List - Trace all material movements for stock reconciliation. VA03 – Display Sales Order - View customer orders and delivery status details. ZUOTC_OOR – Open Order / Out-of-Region Report - Tracks unfulfilled or misrouted orders. (Orders pending OBD) SE16 – Data Browser - Access raw table data for quick checks or troubleshooting. SE16N – Enhanced Data Browser - Advanced table viewer — better filtering, layouts, and exports. Your “Previously Used” list actually says a lot about your workflow... Mine pretty much sums up a day juggling between order accuracy, delivery creation, and stock reconciliation. What’s on your “Previously Used” list and which T-Code do you rely on most?
