I am working with a client on their first federal proposal, a Request for Proposal (RFP) for janitorial services under NAICS code 561720, which is a small business set-aside. The deadline is in three weeks and we are trying to organize our response. The solicitation mentions a 'technical volume' but doesn't provide a lot of detail on what that means or how it should be structured beyond a few broad headings.

I have drafted proposals for state and county contracts before, and they usually have very clear instructions for each section. This federal RFP just says "submit a technical volume." I am trying to figure out what content typically goes into a technical volume and how it should be organized. Should I just follow the Performance Work Statement (PWS) order, or is there a standard federal structure for the technical response? What is the typical content and structure of a technical volume for a federal RFP?

The content and structure of a technical volume for a federal RFP should always follow the specific instructions in the solicitation, which are usually found in Section L. Federal RFPs often refer to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which governs how agencies buy goods and services. If Section L is vague, you should still use the headings it provides and then address the requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) under those headings.
