In recently found supersymmetry-breaking meta-stable vacua of thesupersymmetric QCD, we examine possible exsitence of solitons. Homotopy groupsof the moduli space of the meta-stable vacua show that there is no nontrivialsoliton for SU(N_c) gauge group. When U(1)_B symmetry present in the theory isgauged, we find non-BPS solitonic (vortex) strings whose existence andproperties are predicted from brane configurations. We obtain explicitclassical solutions which reproduce the predicitions. For SO(N_c) gauge group,we find there are solitonic strings for N = N_f-N_c+4 = 2, and Z_2 strings forthe other N. The strings are meta-stable as they live in the meta-stable vacua.Comment: 30 pages, 14 figures, Comments on stability of non-BPS vortices are added, Comments on sigma model solitons are added, An appendix is adde
