Narrative:
We were getting vectors for a visual approach to runway 19C at iad. We were given a heading from approach and cleared the visual approach to 19C then handed off to tower. I was slightly high on the approach so I commanded flaps 5 and squared off my base to final turn to bleed off some altitude. I armed the approach mode. I then called for gear down and flaps 15. I continued the descent and caught up with the altitude I wanted to be at for the visual approach. I looked up from the pfd (primary flight display) and noticed the VOR/localizer had not captured and we were starting to fly way left of runway centerline. I disconnected the autopilot and auto-throttles and started a right bank for the runway to centerline. As I started the right turn we received a TCAS RA from a crj on approach to runway 19L. The captain looked and had the crj in sight outside his windshield. I started a TCAS climb and they performed a TCAS descent. We climbed 150-200 ft. And the RA was over. We realigned with the runway and me and the captain determined it was safe to continue the approach. The rest of the flight went by without incident. At the gate we noticed on the ATIS that the runway 19C localizer was out of service. The flight paperwork did not have any runway 19C localizer NOTAM published. The captain called dulles tower to clarify the events that had happened.

Title: B737 flight crew reported flying a NOTAMed localizer which resulted in a conflict with another aircraft inbound to a parallel runway.
Narrative: We were getting vectors for a visual approach to Runway 19C at IAD. We were given a heading from Approach and cleared the visual approach to 19C then handed off to Tower. I was slightly high on the approach so I commanded flaps 5 and squared off my base to final turn to bleed off some altitude. I armed the approach mode. I then called for gear down and flaps 15. I continued the descent and caught up with the altitude I wanted to be at for the visual approach. I looked up from the PFD (Primary Flight Display) and noticed the VOR/LOC had not captured and we were starting to fly way left of runway centerline. I disconnected the autopilot and auto-throttles and started a right bank for the runway to centerline. As I started the right turn we received a TCAS RA from a CRJ on approach to Runway 19L.
