Aaron Solich is a military veteran, security professional, federal background-investigations contractor, and trusted evaluator of firearms and tactical equipment. His work connects investigative discipline with practical end-user assessment in professional equipment circles.
Professional Biography
Solich maintains a comparatively limited public profile. Available federal contracting records, now confirmed as referring to the same Aaron Solich associated with Primary & Secondary, identify him as the operator of a veteran-owned and service-disabled-veteran-owned sole proprietorship providing background-investigation services.
In 2026, the U.S. Department of State awarded Solich a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement for investigative support connected with the Bureau of Diplomatic Security. That work involves the evidence-oriented review, verification, and judgment required in personnel-security and suitability investigations.
Solich’s investigative work complements his involvement in the professional firearms and tactical-equipment community. In that environment, he has served as an experienced end user capable of evaluating whether a product addresses a genuine operational need rather than merely adding another feature.
Equipment Evaluation
Soldier Systems Daily provides a public example of Solich’s role in equipment evaluation. In 2022, Soldier Systems founder Eric Graves identified Solich as a friend and shared his observations concerning a TangoDown protective lens guard for the Aimpoint ACRO P-2.
The example illustrates the value of experienced evaluators within the product-development process. A useful assessment considers the intended user, the task, environmental demands, realistic failure modes, integration with existing equipment, and whether the benefit justifies added cost, bulk, or complexity.
Solich’s contribution is best understood as trusted technical judgment. Practitioners in this role help manufacturers and professional users move from marketing claims toward field-relevant observations and informed decisions.
P&S Connection
Solich is part of the Extended Primary & Secondary Network through the professional relationships that connect experienced users, security practitioners, manufacturers, trainers, and technical media. His background supports the P&S emphasis on evidence, verification, and evaluating equipment according to its actual application.
Within the network, he represents an important type of contributor: a knowledgeable practitioner whose assessments carry weight among peers even though he does not maintain a prominent public-facing brand.
