It means that the Dept of Defense Central Adjudication Facility has reviewed your investigation file and found you eligible for access to Top Secret information. You don’t necessarily have a clearance until you get briefed somewhere… for example, background investigators go through the same investigation but don’t get a clearance.
No idea how this would transfer to FBI who has its own separate system… maybe they can take that investigation and grant their own clearance?
I would be curious to know how an FBI contractor was able to get that much info unless of course they also do DoD work and have access to JPAS.

If in fact you have a clearance, and you’re not sure if you do or not, then there may be a disconnect somewhere.

Would not the primary source of information be the FSO or Security Manager that briefed you and had you sign the SF-312? This site is just for advisement, you need to go to the authoritative source for accurate information.
