It's a new format we use for S5. It's basically a ZIP archive with the toolpath (G-code) and a preview image attached so we can show that on the S5 touch screen (and Cura Connect web interface). The format is fully open and specified on GitHub: https://github.com/Ultimaker/libCharon. It's an implementation of the OPC format (like docx is as well).

OK, so as I typed the original post, I realized I should have checked a 3E profile setup. Using the 3E profile, the default file type is G-Code. The UFP file type can be selected as the file type for the 3E. It appears the default file type for the S5 profile is UFP, but G-Code can be selected from the file type drop down.
Still wondering what the UFP file type is, and what it is used for.
