I submitted my SF86 in July of 2019. I have not been contacted by a DSS agent yet. Going for a Secret clearance. Should i be concerned or is it usual for them to take this long? MEPS told me it should only take 2-3 months until someone would be in contact with me???

The Central Clearance Facility is perpetually backlogged. It may take a year. The biggest thing is as long as you have done everything you can, provided full and complete information you'll be ok.
The real question is whether or not your clearance is showing as active in JPAS. Contact your unit's security manager (usually S2) have them look it up in JPAS.

There is an order of merit for clearances given the current backlog.
Intelligence is the priority for all investigations followed by position and station assigned, then other MOS's
I submitted for my reinvestigation back in October 2019, am at an INSCOM installation, and they are so backlogged, they still haven't gotten to me yet.

I was not contacted by anyone either time I submitted for Secret and both times was verified eligible.
