It's a generic term for any software product that you buy. Toad is a 'COTS' product. Typically means something not written for a specific application.
Other examples are SAP, Oracle Financials, Microsoft Word, etc... I've seen the definition used a little differently in different situations.
COTS Integration means making your stuff work with something you buy. For example embedding Microsoft Excel into a GUI application. Or maybe if you decide to use Oracle Financials but already have an application to do some of your work, getting it all to work together...
