Government Information Security - VA Laptops

This is just bloody ridiculous:
The Department of Veterans Affairs disclosed late Monday that another laptop containing data on up to 38,000 veterans has gone missing. The loss of the data is the result of a possible theft of a laptop from third-party contractor Unisys. The department was informed of the issue on August 3.
Can someone tell my why Unisys has a laptop with personal private information on it? And, when is some form of data control actually going be implemented?
